Galileo Performance Reports for Q1 2026 are now available!
The Reports for January, February and March 2026 are available in the Performance Reports section, providing the status of the Galileo constellation and the achieved performance.The reports present the latest performance statistics on the Galileo OS, HAS, OSNMA and SAR/Galileo, measured against their Minimum Performance Levels (MPLs) as outlined in their respective Service Definition Documents . Compliance with the MPL target (threshold is 0.50 [m] for both Galileo and GPS) was achieved with considerable margins.Availability of the HAS Corrections provided via terrestrial dissemination and SIS exceeded 88.82% for Galileo-only corrections (above defined MPL target of 87 %) and not lower than 97.99% for Galileo + GPS corrections. Service coverage: Service coverage reached the target availability over the whole reporting period considering HAS corrections dissemination both via SIS and using IDD (target is 87% in the case of Galileo only users, while 95% for Galileo and GPS ones).Timely publication of NAGUs for the HAS: during the quarter, 3 NAGUs were issued. Open Service Navigation Message Authentication:MAC Availability: ADKD0 for the Galileo I/NAV Orbit and Clock correction data:For at least 4 Galileo nominal or auxiliary satellites in view within a period of 30 seconds: achieved 95% MPL target throughout the reporting period. Same targets apply for the IOCA, where measured value for single burst marginally did not fully meet the MPL target in January for La Reunion, having achieved a value of 85.9%, and in January, February and March for Kerguelen, having achieved a value of 86.80%, 87.20%, 88.71%, respectively. Galileo's system design and system evolution are entrusted by EUSPA to ESA.Media note: This feature can be republished without charge provided the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) is acknowledged as the source at the top or the bottom of the story.
