Galileo, the European satellite navigation system, has been suffering a major outage since Friday, reports BBC News. The system’s status page currently lists all 22 of its satellites as either “Not Usable” or “Testing,” as part of an incident that started early Friday morning. In a statement, the European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency said the system is being affected by a “technical incident related to its ground infrastructure.
'A problem at an Italian facility is thought to be to blame' Since Galileo is technically still in its pilot phase it is not currently used for critical applications, and the GSA says the outage has not affected Search and Rescue services. The organization is yet to offer any more details on the cause of the outage. But according to industry publication Inside GNSS, a Precise Timing Facility located in Italy is to blame for the problems.
