Logos Space Services has secured U.S. regulatory approval to deploy up to 4,178 low Earth orbit broadband satellites.

The award was made under NGA’s Luno program.

Dedicated research and development, funded by European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA) programmes over the years, has played a key role in Galileo Second Generation. 

Among the innovations that will benefit the new satellites are the development of new atomic clocks, links that allow the satellites to ‘talk’ to one another in orbit and a prototype ground station that can precisely pinpoint satellites in the sky. These advanced technologies will ensure Galileo continues to provide world‑class positioning, navigation and timing to users worldwide.
