10. EGNOS becoming operational
EGNOS Service Area
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is Europe’s first venture into satellite navigation. It augments the two military satellite navigation systems now operating, the US GPS and Russian GLONASS systems, and makes them suitable for safety critical applications such as flying aircraft or navigating ships through narrow channels.   Consisting of three geostationary satellites and a network of ground stations, EGNOS achieves its aim by transmitting a signal containing information on the reliability and accuracy of the positioning signals sent out by the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS). It allows users in Europe and beyond to determine their position to within 2 metres, compared with about 20 metres for GPS and GLONASS alone.
EGNOS Satellite Footprints

11. EGNOS Programme Status
EGNOS is already broadcasting signals of excellent quality
Assets will be transferred from ESA to the European Community
EC will contract an operator in April 2009
EGNOS will formally enter into operations in spring 2009
EGNOS will be certified by 2010
Geographical service extension is under study
EC is finalising the procurement and lease of an EGNOS transponder to replace Artemis as of 2011

12. EGNOS Performance (ECAC)

13. EGNOS Extensions - MEDA
European Processing Area
MEDA Extension
MEDA region falls within the EGNOS European Processing Area
Homogeneous extension
Extension of EGNOS network (Addition of 4-6 RIMS)
EGNOS Central processing

14. EGNOS Extensions - ACAC
European Processing Area
Middle-East Regional
Extension
The ACAC / Middle East region falls outside the European Processing area and, consequently, has to be treated as a regional extension. This implies some very specific technical activities, such as extending the integrity of the GPS satellites outside the nominal area and adding additional monitoring for the ionosphere.
ACAC region falls outside of EGNOS European Processing Area
Regional extension
Extension of GPS integrity monitoring
Additional ionospheric monitoring

15. Conclusions EGNOS is in its Operational Validation Phase
Open Service in 2009
Safety of Life Service in 2010
Galileo is in its Development Phase
Major EU initiative
GIOVE-A, GIOVE-B missions on-going
Initial 4 satellites around 2010
Full Operational Capability around 2013
It is time to boost the market penetration of the European GNSS on the market
Europe has demonstrated its technical capability to develop operational Navigation systems:
• EGNOS is ready to enter into operations
• GALILEO is moving ahead steadily
• The future is prepared
Europe is now to show its ability to overcome the management and organisational challenges by supporting an appropriate way of developing/ deploying GALILEO infrastructure
