List of Galileo satellites

This is a list of past and present satellites of the Galileo navigation system.

As of May 2024, 30 Galileo (4 IOV "In Orbit Validation" and 26 FOC "Full Operational Capability") satellites have been launched. The 2 GIOVE prototype vehicles were retired in 2012. Currently, 23 satellites are operational, 2 are under commissioning, 4 are not usable and 1 was retired.

The remaining 8 FOC satellites have completed manufacturing and testing. They are currently in storage awaiting launch by Falcon 9 and Ariane 6.

FOC satellites were awarded and built in several batches by OHB in Bremen, Germany, with the contribution of Surrey Satellite Technology (SSTL) in Guildford, United Kingdom.
 * 1) Batch-1 consists of 14 FOC satellites (Galileo-FOC FM1 to Galileo-FOC FM14)
 * 2) Batch-2 consists of 8 FOC satellites (Galileo-FOC FM15 to Galileo-FOC FM22)
 * 3) Batch-3 consists of 12 FOC satellites (Galileo-FOC FM23 to Galileo-FOC FM34)

In parallel to Batch-3's completion, the new Galileo Second Generation (G2G) satellites, featuring electric propulsion, enhanced navigation signals and capabilities, inter-satellite links and reconfigurability in space, in 2021 were in development by Thales Alenia Space (TAS) and Airbus Defence and Space, with their deployment expected to begin by late 2024.

Satellites
Each satellite is named after a child that won the European Commission's Galileo drawing competition. One winner was selected from each member state of the European Union.
