That's just plain false. There was one major outage in 2019. Since then, nothing of note.
- mardifoufs 4y agoI think it has, when compared to GPS or even GLONASS. https://insidegnss.com/galileo-logs-a-5-hour-timing-related-outage-explanation-awaited/ https://insidegnss.com/galileo-logs-a-5-hour-timing-related-... https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/galileo-accident/ https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/galileo-accident/
- justeleblanc 4y agoThe second link is the major outage I'm talking about, yes. The first one is indeed significant, but to call it an outage is a stretch. You're linking to some blogspam that is basically [copying the official statement](https://www.gsc-europa.eu/news/galileo-nominal-service-restored https://www.gsc-europa.eu/news/galileo-nominal-service-resto...). To link that without linking to the [follow-up explanation](https://www.gsc-europa.eu/news/further-information-on-the-event-of-14th-december https://www.gsc-europa.eu/news/further-information-on-the-ev...) is, well... Not exactly an okay move. In that follow-up, you'll read that only ill-configured receivers (that ignored satellite health) were affected.
- mardifoufs 4y agoAh that would make sense! I wonder though, is my perception of Galileo as being less reliable accurate? Or are those issues normal for GPS too? My (probably ignorant) understanding was that the structure of the Galileo program made it inherently more brittle, considering how the first major outage went down.
