A long-term analysis of signal-in-space range error (SISRE) is presented for all healthy Galileo satellites, and the first pair of full operational capability satellites in wrong elliptical orbits. Both orbit and clock errors for Galileo show an obvious convergence trend over time. The annual statistical analyses show that the average root mean squares (RMSs) of SISRE for the Galileo constellation are 0.58 m (2015), 0.29 m (2016), 0.23 m (2017), and 0.22 m (2018). Currently, the accuracy of the Galileo signal-in-space is superior to that of the global positioning system (GPS) Block IIF (0.35 m). In addition, the orbit error accounts for the majority of Galileo SISRE, while the clock error accounts for approximately one-third of SISRE due to the high stability of the onboard atomic clock. Single point positioning results show that Galileo achieves an accuracy of 2–3 m, which is comparable to that of GPS despite the smaller number of satellites and worse geometry. Interestingly, the vertical accuracy of Galileo, which uses the NeQuick ionospheric model, is higher than that of GPS. Positioning with single frequency E1 and E5 show a higher precision than E5a and E5b signals. Regarding precise point positioning (PPP), the results indicate that a comparable positioning accuracy can be achieved among different stations with the current Galileo constellation. For static PPP, the RMS values of Galileo-only solutions are within 1 cm horizontally, and the vertical RMSs are mostly within 2 cm horizontally. For kinematic PPP, the RMSs of Galileo-only solutions are mostly within 4 cm horizontally and 6 cm vertically.
