Galileo

The European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) has signed a new launch contract with Arianespace for the deployment of the second pair of Galileo Second Generation satellites, known as Galileo L18, to be launched aboard an Ariane 6 launcher under the delegation of the European Commission, strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy.

The GIMS (Geodetic Integrated Monitoring System) project combines the Galileo European global navigation satellite system (GNSS), the Copernicus synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and inertial measurement units (IMUs) to detect and monitor landslides.

The successful launch of Galileo L14 marks another key milestone for the European Union’s flagship satellite navigation system, reinforcing the programme’s mission to deliver safe, secure and world-leading navigation services to millions of users worldwide. As the EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), the agency plays both an operational and strategic role in ensuring the continued success and evolution of Galileo.

Caius, a CASSINI Hackathon winner, is redefining rural digitisation with AI-powered tools that automatically map roads and trails, supporting local authorities, organisations, and communities. Based in Metsovo, Greece, the startup bridges space technology and rural development to create accessible networks and promote sustainable tourism.

The Galileo system comprises a ground, space and user segment. The ground segment is spread across several EU locations.

Breakthrough geotagged photo technology is changing the game in the agricultural sector. Delivers speed, accuracy, and transparency to farmland monitoring that well complements Copernicus-based Area Monitoring System (AMS).

EOMAP’s core focus has always been on Earth observation (EO) for water applications, using satellite-derived data to support industries such as aquaculture, fisheries, and coastal management.

Bringing technology closer to agriculture with sustainable digital solutions.

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.
