Over the next two years, Inmarsat will manage the deployment and operations of a test facility at the European Space Agency’s (ESA) ground station in Redu, Belgium. The results obtained during in-orbit tests will create a benchmark throughout the satellites’ operational life and will be used as a reference across the entire Galileo constellation.
