Just wanted to give you a little bit more info. I work for the Spanish company that has developed the OSPF, GMV, and although I'm not currently involved at all in this project, from what i know, the following statement: "around 5% of the Galileo capacity is lost to software problems likely in the Orbit Synchronization Processing Facility (OSPF), run by GMV." is not fully true. The OSPF receives data from sources (From my limited knowledge, time stations in order to generate the ephemeris), and it looks like the problem was not in the OSPF code but in one of these time stations sending the data.

Hi - thanks for this (author here). What I mean is, currently, around 5% of the satellites on average broadcast NAPA status. I did not refer to the big outage with this statement, I mean to ongoing developments. Or perhaps you are referring to the same thing & in that case it is entirely possible that the NAPA flag gets raised because the ephemeris is being generated from stale data. Do you know? Thanks!

So that's 1 satellite on average. Even though 5% means the same it makes you think the number is much larger if you do not constantly think of the total available.
