Wanneer het systeem operationeel is, zullen er 30 satellieten in een baan om de aarde draaien op een hoogte van bijna 24 000 km. Dit zorgt ervoor dat er altijd ten minste vier satellieten boven de horizon staan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Met een kleine ontvanger kun je de signalen van de Galileo-satellieten en grondstations in de buurt oppikken. Dan kan het systeem je precieze positie en snelheid overal ter wereld berekenen.<\/p>\n<p>Het is niet de bedoeling dat Galileo de bestaande systemen gaat vervangen. Het Europese systeem zal naast de andere systemen komen te werken. Maar in tegenstelling tot het Amerikaanse en het Russische systeem, is Galileo niet in handen van militairen. Dat betekent dat je het systeem onderweg altijd kan gebruiken om na te gaan waar je precies bent.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Verbetering van de verkeersdoorstroming<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Informatie geven over de plaats van een auto, vrachtwagen, schip of vliegtuig<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Reizigers en onderzoekers op afgelegen plaatsen helpen hun weg te vinden<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Zorgen dat vliegtuigen veiliger kunnen landen, vooral bij mist en laaghangende bewolking<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Ondersteunen van opsporings- en reddingsacties<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Geleiden van blinden<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Volgen van wielrenners in real time<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gebruikers zullen het signaal van Galileo in tegenstelling tot het signaal van GPS altijd kunnen ontvangen.
