Featuring high-level panels and interviews, expert round tables, interactive workshops and numerous networking opportunities this year’s SME Assembly had a flavour of EU Space.

The EU Agency for the Space Programme will hold its annual Open Days from 9 – 10 December at EUSPA Headquarters in Prague, Czech Republic.

A new SAR Galileo MEOLUT Facility installed in the Indian Ocean Réunion island has successfully met the operational, performance and functional requirements required to be commissioned into the Cospas-Sarsat System and started the distribution of MEOSAR distress alerts to the French Mission Control Centre (FMCC) on 18 November.
Precisely on the same day, the very first Return Link Service distress alert was recorded by Galileo coming from a boat skunk 2000km offshore of the newly deployed Galileo MEOLUT.
