Several events have taken place during the last year that have served to shift Galileo from being a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) project in the distant future to becoming an upcoming reality. Chief among them for its potential scientific impact was the 2nd call of the Galileo Joint Undertaking (GJU) in the frame of the 6th Framework Programme (FP6) for Research and Development and the on-going work at ESA and its subcontractors. The aim of this session is to describe the status of the Galileo system, to address the critical question of how Galileo will interact with existing GNSS such as GPS, and to explore prospective scientific applications in the geosciences. To this end, this session shall introduce some programmatic aspects of Galileo: status review, signal characteristics and performances, GPS modernization plan, overview of the GJU FP6 call activities, and GNSS working group activities of the International GPS Service (IGS) and GJU. In addition, the question of the interaction between Galileo and GPS in terms of interoperability and signal hybridation shall be addressed. We encourage contributions that cover the broad area of innovative or improved science applications and techniques such as - but not restricted to - Three-carrier Ambiguity Resolution (TCAR), the use of pseudolites, high precision Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), altimetry, scatterometry, troposphere and ionosphere structure, dynamics and modelling, time transfer, and formation flying systems.
