             You might be asking it what consists Galileo?
              Galileo is the global system of satellite navegation, and will be formed by 30 different satellites and by the infraestructure on Earth.
               It is financiated by the ESA and also the European Comission.
               With the actual satellites they have cretaed a mini-constelation.

  1. Access Antennas & Satellites enjoys a worldwide reputation, a reputation that has been built from our beginning and continues to grow. We count many “firsts” in the industry — all-channel yagi TV antenna, 82 channel antenna, antenna mounted preamplifiers, antenna amplifiers, anodizing process, perforated aluminum satellite antenna, RV television antenna — just to name a few!
