Galileo sensor stations, reversing the way satellite navigation usually operates, work together to pinpoint a Galileo satellite’s orbital position, its clock rate and signal health. Sensor station data gets fed through to the twin Galileo control centres so a set of corrections can be compiled.

Telecommands to the satellite platforms are uplinked by dedicated Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) stations.
