This study explains the background necessary for understanding of the Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) working principles and the importance of GNSS in our daily life and work. It highlights the specific socio-economic and strategic advantages enabled by the European satellite navigation system ‘Galileo’. It also identifies some of the gaps and challenges towards Galileo’s final operational capability expected in 2021. The study proposes different policy options in order to maximise the ...

Galileo and EGNOS

Briefing 24-01-2018

Galileo and the European geostationary navigation overlay service (EGNOS) are two satellite navigation systems under civil control. Galileo is an autonomous global navigation satellite system consisting of a constellation of satellites and a global network of ground stations. EGNOS is a regional satellite navigation system that monitors, corrects and improves the accuracy of open signals emitted by existing global satellite navigation systems (GPS, Glonass). Galileo and EGNOS are infrastructures ...

Galileo, the long-awaited European global navigation satellite systems, is at a turning point in its history: it reached initial operational capacity in December 2016 and is expected to be fully operational for 2021. This autonomous European civilian tool, which can be used anywhere on earth, transmits positioning and timing data from space for use on the ground to determine a user's location. Alongside it, the European geostationary navigation overlay system (EGNOS), which improves the accuracy ...

Die Raumfahrt ist in Europa seit über 50 Jahren ein kooperatives Unterfangen. Aus den in den 1960er-Jahren gegründeten ersten Strukturen für die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten entstand 1975 die Europäische Weltraumorganisation ESA. Das Engagement der Europäischen Union in der Raumfahrt begann in den 1990er-Jahren, insbesondere mit der Gestaltung der EU-Raumfahrtprogramme – Galileo für die Satellitennavigation und Copernicus für die Erdbeobachtung –, die in Zusammenarbeit mit der ESA ...

The study aims to offer a comprehensive analysis of the role of space-based capabilities in supporting the security and defence policies of the European Union and of its Member States. Moving from the description of the current and future space-based systems developed at the national, intergovernmental and European level, the study tries in first place to point out the contribution of these assets to the security initiatives undertaken in Europe. Second, it describes the roles of the actors and the ...

The Galileo programme

Briefing 27-10-2010

Galileo, a European constellation of satellites currently under construction, has been accumulating delays and cost overruns since its inception in 1999. Galileo was initially planned to be operational in 2008, but as of 2010 only two experimental satellites have been put into orbit. As regards funding, the programme was initially planned to be partially financed by the private sector. However, negotiations failed in 2007 and in 2008 the programme became financed entirely by the EU budget.
