Galileo Satellite Navigation System European Space Agency civilian-controlled global navigation system
The European Galileo global navigation satellite system is designed to provide an unprecedented degree of accuracy (determining location down to the meter) and not only will have guaranteed availability, but also will be compatible with the world's other two positioning systems, GPS and Russia's GLONASS. Galileo will be used for location-based services, as well as in situations where safety is critical, such as running trains and landing airplanes, and in search and rescue operations.
The LynxOS®-178 real-time operating system will be used in the critical Galileo Mission Segments (GMS), which lie at the heart of the system. The GMS is a network of Earth-based stations that monitor signals from the satellites and transmit navigation data to the satellites. LynxOS-178 offers support for both Pentium® and PowerPC® processors, both of which will be used in the overall Galileo project.
