Another major milestone in the Galileo European Navigation Satellite System’s development and deployment programme has been achieved! Septentrio and QinetiQ, working in close partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) and their industrial partners, achieved the world’s first successful reception of the encrypted Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) signal from the first Galileo satellites

On December 14th, the first Galileo In-Orbit Validation (IOV) satellite started transmitting its first navigation signals to Earth. Septentrio receivers running commercially available software were able to track all signals from the start. The AsteRx3, PolaRxS and PolaRx4 receivers are all capable of tracking E1, E5a, E5b and E5AltBoc using the latest released firmware.
Customers who already own an AsteRx3, PolaRxS or PolaRx4 with Galileo reception enabled have been able to start gathering measurements from the first moment the signal was made available, without needing special firmware.
The advantages of using E5 AltBOC are clearly visible when looking at the Carrier-To-Noise levels and the multipath sensitivity of the signal: the code multipath error on the E5-AltBOC signal is significantly smaller than on the other signals. Additionally, the signal noise is lower than on E1, E5a and E5b.

Septentrio is proud to announce that its precise timing GPS receiver the PolaRx2eTR, features prominently in the OPERA experiment. The results of this experiment would seem to indicate that neutrinos can travel at a velocity 20 parts per million greater than the speed of light – the speed accepted as the absolute speed limit ever since Einstein formulated his special relativity theory.
