Satellite Fiat Pandas: Despite their collective worldwide signal coverage, each individual Galileo satellite is relatively small. With core body dimensions of 2.5m by 1.2 m by 1.1 m each satellite is comparable in size and shape to an old-fashioned UK telephone box. Galileo team members compare the satellites to “Fiat Pandas”, although with a launch mass of 700 kg including propellant they are actually lighter than the smallest of Smart Cars.
