Part of the Fundamental Elements funding mechanism, the call looks to develop a receiver that will enable vessels to take full advantage of the EGNOS Safety of Life Assisted Service for Maritime users (ESMAS).
A group of Canadian scientists at the University of New Brunswick has become the first to make use of Galileo’s High Accuracy Service (HAS) in Antarctica to create ultra-precise 3D maps of underwater terrain in a place with no RTK networks or Internet.
European GNSS and Copernicus Earth Observation data not only play a key role in individual modes of mobility, they are also essential to creating a truly intermodal transport system.
EUSPA signed with Thales Alenia Space a contract named LIFEX 1 (Life Extension Phase 1), to ensure that EGNOS V2 continues to provide reliable, secure, and high-performance navigation services for Europe’s aviation, maritime, land transport, mapping and agricultural sectors beyond 2028.
Galileo’s High Accuracy Service (HAS), available since 2023, provides sub-metric positioning accuracy worldwide, offering a reliable and precise alternative to traditional Differential GNSS (DGNSS) corrections without the need for additional ground infrastructure. Companies are already getting the added value of this very specific Galileo service.
The call for tender to ensure support on the design, development and testing of a 406MHz Emergency Distress Beacon with Extended Galileo Return Link Feature is now open. A webinar is organised on March 17 to present the call.
The Sentinel-1C satellite, to be launched on December 4, 2024, will ensure continuous data provision and integrates Galileo for improved navigation, reinforcing the world's leading Earth Observation system.
