satellites.
The GIOVE Mission segment is composed of a central processing facility called the Giove Processing Center (GPC) and a network of thirteen experimental Giove Sensor Stations (GESS).

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
