While the archaeology of the movies tends to focus on the fedoras, whips and last crusades, actual archaeologists depend on space technologies like GNSS and Earth Observation.

The Emergency Warning Satellite Service (EWSS) is a new service of the Galileo programme, which is at the disposal of national civil protection authorities to alert the population in case of a looming disaster. This new ground-breaking feature of the EU’s positioning system will serve as an alternative solution in case traditional terrestrial alerting systems are not available.

The EU Space Programme is ready to support the priorities set by the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
