Developed by the European Union and Space Agency, Galileo is a global positioning constellation of satellites which is still in development and will be made up of 30 satellites (27 operations and thee active spares).

Galileo is the name of the European satellite navigation system and is currently in the construction. It is based on 30 satellites (27 + 3 substitutes) that orbit the earth at a height of 24,000 km. They are controlled by a network of ground stations. In contrast to the US-American GPS and the Russian GLONASS, Galileo is constructed for civilian pu [..]

An Italian astronomer and scientist (1564 - 1642) who first systematically used a telescope to study celestial objects and publish his findings. His observations helped consolidate the Copernican concept of a heliocentric model. He also made valuable contributions to the phsyics of motion.

A benchmark that tests a computer's I/O subsystem performance under a controlled load. Later renamed IOmeter.

Galileo is the name of a satellite positioning system currently under development by the European Union. The principle is exactly the same as with the current GPS (see GPS), apart from the fact that it will be operated by Europe and not by the USA.
