To accommodate a high-level of interest in the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC) and Copernicus Masters, organisers have extended the deadline for submissions to 11:59 CET 6 July. 

The European GNSS Agency (GSA) partners with ESA and Sipa Press to promote the role of women in the space sector.

The GSA has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the replenishment of EGNOS geostationary satellites navigation payloads. The purpose of the replenishment is to ensure continuous EGNOS Signal In Space availability and to support future transition from EGNOS V2 to EGNOS V3.

Today the GSA launches its Second EGNOS Adoption Aviation Call for Proposals. Building on the momentum generated from the great results of its Aviation Call for Grants 2014 , the new call will further boost EGNOS adoption in aviation. From regional to commercial, business and general aviation and even rotorcraft – all airspace users will benefit from the Second EGNOS Adoption Aviation Call for proposals.

The June 30th deadline for the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC) and Copernicus Masters is quickly approaching, and winners could receive a share of prizes totalling EUR 1 million to launch their satellite navigation ideas into reality.

Most recently, 83,606 visit the European Space Expo in Zagreb’s Trg Bana Josipa Jelacia Square.

From June 9-11, members of the aviation equipment manufacturing industry gathered to move forward on standardising aircraft equipment for European GNSS. The meeting was part of Working Group 62 of the European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE), the organisation responsible for developing aviation standards.

Most people associate flying with going on holiday or crossing oceans and continents for business. This typically involves large commercial aircraft flying between major hubs using expensive instrument landing systems (ILS) that allow for landing in all types of weather – and hence the management of high volumes of traffic, seven days a week.

The Airbus A350 XWB recently became the first wide-body jet to achieve certification for its installed EGNOS-based landing system – a significant step in the uptake of the service within the commercial aviation sector.

The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2014 Aviation Call for Grants. The first Call brought great results, with 13 out of the submitted 38 proposals being awarded funding. The grant will foster EGNOS operational implementation for all aviation sectors, including commercial, regional, business, general and rotorcraft.
