This week marks another important milestone for the Galileo project with the ground segment formally gaining a brand-new asset.
Galileo’s new Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) facility is a 13.5-meter diameter parabola dish mounted on top of a 10-meter-high building structure of steel and concrete.
Known by the acronym TTCF-7, it is based within the premises of Europe’s launch site in Kourou, French Guiana, beside its older sibling, TTCF-2.
