[time-nuts] FYI: Galileo satellite recovered and transmitting navigation signals

["Björn Gabrielsson"]

Hi Dick,

Its available for everyone. It will be as global as GPS. But currently
under a system test phase. Three working satellites, one of the first four
has some problems. Whats the status of that one now? Two new launched in
August experienced a faulty orbit injection.

Should be more usable in a year or two. Will have performance much like
GPSIII.
