Galileo on the ground reaches some of Earth's loneliest places

(PresseBox) (Paris, )
A worldwide chain of Galileo ground stations on some of the remotest sites on Earth is nearing completion ahead of this year's launch of two more satellites.

Engineers spent a hectic Christmas and New Year on the main island of the Kerguelen group in the Indian Ocean, working against the clock to install the latest Galileo sensor station - measuring regional signal accuracy so corrections can be made if needed.

There is no airport on this desolate, sub-Antarctic French territory, and a boat calls only four times per year.

Dropped off on 13 December, the team had to jdwyrlw obq qotm bwg qyktwtd xavwws xlupfkzpk vq 2 Qdazxgk.
