Galileo's continuing outage, with no updates
- CaliforniaKarl 7y agoThe actual article title: Experts: No need to worry about Europe's GPS satellites going dark for days. Also: What the hell is going on with those satellites?! I think that's too long to fit in an HN title. Apologies for the poor approximation!

- jepler 7y agoSubsequent to this article there does appear to be an update from GSA, which states in part: "Based on the results of the troubleshooting activities, several elements of the ground infrastructure were re-initiated. The progress is being closely monitored; it is too early to confirm an exact service recovery date." https://www.gsa.europa.eu/newsroom/news/galileo-initial-service-recovery-actions-underway https://www.gsa.europa.eu/newsroom/news/galileo-initial-serv... So, we're still talking days, not hours, to restore service, apparently. And no real details, besides reiterating that it's something on the ground.
