pocketgpsworld.com
And in more Galileo news, Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) has announced the delivery of the 22nd and final navigation payload to OHB System in Bremen.

Every one of the Full Operational Capability (FOC) payloads, the heart of a Galileo satellite, has been built and tested at SSTL's Guildford facility and contains atomic clocks, navigation signal generators and high power travelling wave tube amplifiers and antennas.

SSTL has been responsible for the development, assembly, integration and test of the 22 navigation payloads, the first was delivered in 2012 and since then one payload has rolled off the production line every six weeks.

Dr John Paffett, Director of Telecommunications and Navigation at SSTL, commented "The completion and delivery of the 22nd payload for FOC marks another milestone for SSTL, and I must pay tribute to the talented and dedicated FOC team here who have worked tirelessly to keep the production line rolling for the past four years."
