GIOVE Mission
Encyclopedia
The GIOVE Mission segment, or GIOVE-M, is the name of a project dedicated to the exploitation and experimentation of the GIOVE
satellites. The GIOVE Mission is intended to ensure risk mitigation of the In Orbit Validation (IOV) phase of the Galileo positioning system

The GIOVE Mission Segment is conceived to process data from the GIOVE-A
and GIOVE-B
satellites. It is operational from mid 2006.

GIOVE Mission Experimentation
The main objectives of the GIOVE Mission Segment experimentation are in the areas of:- On-board clock characterisation
- Navigation message generation
- Orbit modelling
