Galileo is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) created by the European Union through the European Space Agency (ESA) and operated by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA). Its ground infrastructure is distributed across three EU states rather than centralized in one country: headquartered in Prague, Czechia, with two ground operations centres in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, and in Fucino, Italy. The project began offering limited services in 2016, and is named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei.
