Drew, I think one of the mission objects is to  establish Galileo 
frequencies, but the thought certainly came to my mind as to  monitoring and may be even 
listening if ESA was willing?

Always nice to  have additional listeners around the world willing to help 
them monitor the  satellite and forward tlm data back home. An amateur frequency 
would be even  better but their mission first.

Is it beyond hope for  an amateur package on one of these? It'd be a great 
orbit for a small  transponder!

Two experimental  satellites are being developed for the Galileo System Test 
Bed Ò Version 2,  which will make up the first phase of in the 'in-orbit 
validation' of the  Galileo system. Both spacecraft are now approximately six 
months away from  launch.
