Galileo has achieved first-ever civil authenticated GNSS position using Signal Authentication Service (SAS).

On 16 September, five Galileo satellites encrypted one of their signal components, the E6-C signal at 1278.75 MHz, normally transmitted in the clear.

The @EU_Commission, @esa, EUSPA, the SpaceRISE consortium and European industry partners have defined the next steps for the deployment of IRIS², Europe's future secure connectivity constellation.

Galileo L14 Update
GSAT0234, one of the Galileo L14 satellites, entered into service on 23 July 2026. Following the entry into service of GSAT0233 in May 2026, the successful integration of GSAT0234 marks the full deployment of the L14 satellites within the Galileo constellation

GSAT0233 successfully entered into service in May 2026.

EUSPA is now managing the two new Galileo satellites as part of the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP).

The satellites were launched earlier this morning by @Arianespace and have now reached the holding point, with their solar panels successfully deployed.
