- The 2026 Winter Olympic Games are kicking off today in Italy! But here’s something you might not see on the slopes. Behind the scenes, satellites help track snow, terrain and avalanche risks, and support Search and Rescue when it matters most.
- Earth observation supports earlier risk detection, while precise satellite navigation helps map avalanche-prone areas and assists Search and Rescue teams when every second counts.

- On 15/12/2025, Galileo satellite GSAT0205 was decommissioned. GSAT0232 has taken over its position in the constellation and, as of 01/02/2026, is contributing to the nominal service.
- GSAT0205 served the Galileo programme for over a decade. The decommissioning manoeuvres were actively supported by the EU SST and its Front Desk managed by EUSPA, in close collaboration with the Collision Avoidance Operations Centres (FR-SSA, S3TOC).

- Based on #EUSST analysis and external information, EU SST confirms that object ZQ-3 R/B has decayed. The estimated re-entry window is 2026-01-30 14:05 UTC ±30 minutes.
- The point of re-entry into the atmosphere and the entire analysis may be affected by uncertainties in the available information on the object's mass, structure and shape. Read more: www.eusst.eu/newsroom/new...
