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.
The 15th anniversary of the EGNOS Open Service (OS) highlights Europe’s leadership in developing a robust satellite navigation system that has become a global reference for other Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS).
As the Vendée Globe 2024 sets sail, EUSPA announced that the Galileo Search and Rescue (SAR) service has reached Full Operational Capability (FOC), enhancing global search and rescue efforts.
The EGNOS Safety of Life Assisted Service for Maritime users (ESMAS) can be now fully exploited by users with type-approved equipment developed according to the recently published IEC-61108-7 Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) Standard for Shipborne Receivers.
406 is World Beacon Day and a chance to celebrate Search and Rescue (SAR) teams across the world. EUSPA is proud to celebrate Galileo’s yearly input into this ongoing effort.
Dedicated to Maritime users, this new EGNOS service has an enlarged coverage and provides an augmentation solution even in areas where DGNSS services are unavailable.
