Brief Description
On June 27, 2001 yet another phase of the GALILEO program, named GALILEO B2, was
kicked-off at ESTEC. Based on the outcome of the GALILEO Definition Phase, the
main scope of GALILEO Phase B2 is two-fold: Firstly, to support the
consolidation of GALILEO Mission requirements and related System
Requirements, and conclude a number of high-level System architecture
trade-offs, secondly, to finalise the preliminary System design (Phase B)
activities, including all related documentation required prior to start the
subsequent Programme phases.
The GALILEO Phase B2 study encompasses all segments and components of the
GALILEO System, namely Space, Ground and User segments, Global, Regional and
Local components. The part of Teleconsult within this project was the
contribution to the preliminary system design of the GALILEO user segment.
Special emphasis have been placed on the design of a receiver for professional
applications, investigations of mitigation techniques, and a standards
review.
