The 3rd edition of the User Consultation Platform (UCP) for the European Space Programme will take place on 1-2 December, ahead of European Space Week 2020. This is a unique opportunity for the rapidly expanding community of space tech users to inform the organisations and institutions that oversee the programme of their experience and requirements, helping to shape the future evolution of the system. Don’t miss this opportunity to have your say – register now.

This year’s UCP will involve two days of extensive exchange at 12 parallel sessions in which users are grouped by market segment 1. These sessions will be an ideal opportunity for business and industry leaders, entrepreneurs, service providers, innovators, and space user communities to express their needs, to share best practices and to present case studies.

One-of-a kind opportunity

The UCP is a one-of-a kind networking opportunity that gives the entire space ecosystem the opportunity to explore new synergies and keep abreast of the latest developments in this fast-paced sector. The Platform’s format allows all the various space stakeholders to share their experiences and expertise and learn from each other, helping them to grow stronger and become more innovative and competitive.

At the sessions, the user community will discuss their needs while receiving updates on testing campaigns, main market trends, the evolution of the Galileo and EGNOS systems, and new developments in R&D. New to the 2020 edition of the UCP will be the addition of other Copernicus users and GovSatCom users, which means that the UCP 2020 will be more representative than ever

As the EU Space Programme evolves, so do the needs of their users. Building on the central role of users in shaping EU Space applications, the outcomes of the UCP will help inform the decision-making process around service definition and service provision, leveraging on the unique perspective and experience of the multi-disciplinary EU Space user community.

Wrap-up at EUSW

The results of the UCP will be presented to the entire EU Space community during the plenaries at European Space Week on 7-11 December. The outcomes of the UCP GOVSATCOM session will be presented at a session on Secure Satellite Communications on December 9, while all other segments will present the outcomes of their panel discussions on December 7. Check out the EU Space Week site for the schedule.

The European GNSS Agency, together with the European Helicopter Association (EHA), is organizing a joint workshop on the use of EGNOS for Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS). The online panel discussion, scheduled for Wednesday 18 November 2020 at 14:00 (CET), is open to private and public health organisations, HEMS operators, pilots, and relevant healthcare stakeholders.

Air medical services are crucial in times of crisis and emergencies,and are an integral part of many healthcare systems across the globe. Oftentimes, adverse weather conditions or other factors such as smoke cause helicopters to divert or abort landings. In addition, many hospitals lack costly ground-based helicopter navigation equipment to provide guidance in bad weather, which may lead to significant delays when time is of the essence.

Today, thanks to EGNOS, the European Satellite-Based Augmentation System, pilots can navigate through the clouds and fog, and land safely. With over 700 EGNOS-based procedures at 367 airports and helipads, the system increases safety, accessibility and efficiency for operators and pilots approaching airport and helipads in Europe.

With a unique lineup of EGNOS and HEMS experts, operators and service providers, the workshop, powered by the GSA and EHA, intends to familiarize attendees with the process of implementing EGNOS-based approaches for HEMS, while promoting the success-stories of EGNOS-aided HEMS operations across Europe. Participants will hear from experienced helicopter pilots explaining how to land with the enhanced vertical precision and integrity provided by the EU SBAS. Stakeholders, ranging from operators to manufacturers and instrument flight procedures designers, will complement the discussion with precious insights on the best practices and benefits deriving from implementing EGNOS procedures for hospital heliports.

This workshop is of particular interest to organisations considering the implementation of new routes or flight procedures based on EGNOS for HEMS. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with the speakers through a Q&A. To join us online, click here!

About EGNOS

EGNOS is Europe's regional satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) that is used to improve the performance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs), such as GPS and in the future Galileo. EGNOS has been deployed to provide safety of life navigation services to aviation, maritime and land-based users over most of Europe.

The GSA Executive Director, Rodrigo da Costa, joined the Czech Space Week to welcome the participants attending this year’s online edition. The Czech Republic is an active member of the EU Space community, and with EU Space technologies growing at an unprecedented pace, the future looks bright. 

The Czech Space Week 2020 celebrates space science and technology attracting young professionals, students and space enthusiasts supported by aerospace companies, schools, museums, planetaria across the country.

The contribution of the Czech Republic to Europe’s space achievements is well-known. From Europe’s first cosmonaut -Vladimir Remek- orbiting the Earth, to becoming the hosting country of the European GNSS Agency in 2012, the Czech Republic has a long-standing history in space, leveraging #EUSpace technology to improve infrastructure, stimulate innovation, create jobs and ensure the well-being of citizens.

On the occasion of the Czech Space Week, it is worthwhile to focus on four ways, out of many, the Czech Republic is making great use of Galileo and EGNOS:

1. Equipping Prague trams with state-of-the-art Galileo receivers: As part of the modernization of the city´s tram fleet, by the end of 2020, Prague trams will be benefiting from Galileo’s additional accuracy to increase network efficiency and improve user experience.
2. Easing the flow of goods across EU borders: Thanks to their expertise, Czech companies have contributed to the development of the ‘’Galileo Green Lane App’’, the mobile application that facilitates the flow of freight and critical goods across the EU borders during COVID.
3. Boosting innovation among the youth: Aspiring young students from the Mendel University in Brno, have joined forces with professionals from other EU countries to help develop the H2020 funded GreenPatrol project, which uses Galileo’s robust signals to perform pest detection in crops. 
4. Rolling out safer and cleaner forms of air travel: Six Czech airports -including Prague Vaclav Havel Airport- are more accessible even under challenging weather conditions thanks to EGNOS, the EU regional satellite navigation system. Accurate guidance by EGNOS satellites reduces the number of go-arounds (aborted landings) resulting in less noise and less emissions.

‘’The GSA’s core mission is to ensure that European citizens make the most of the European Union Space Programme. By having users in the driver seat, the agency has been able to deliver state of the art, secure satellite-based services to respond to user needs’’ says Rodrigo da Costa, GSA Executive Director.

‘’2021 will mark an important evolution for the EU Space Programme with the transformation of the GSA into the European Union Space Programme Agency, bringing new opportunities. I am sure the Czech Republic will continue to fly the EU Space Programme flag high.’’ da Costa concludes.

If you are keen on satellite navigation, Earth Observation, governmental satellite communications or simply are working in a market that can benefit from the EU Space Programme, join the European Space Week 2020. This year, the top EU space event is brought to your screens from 7th until the 11th December 2020.

The GSA Executive Director, Rodrigo da Costa, joined the Czech Space Week to welcome the participants attending this year’s online edition. The Czech Republic is an active member of the EU Space community, and with EU Space technologies growing at an unprecedented pace, the future looks bright. 

The Czech Space Week 2020 celebrates space science and technology attracting young professionals, students and space enthusiasts supported by aerospace companies, schools, museums, planetaria across the country.

The contribution of the Czech Republic to Europe’s space achievements is well-known. From Europe’s first cosmonaut -Vladimir Remek- orbiting the Earth, to becoming the hosting country of the European GNSS Agency in 2012, the Czech Republic has a long-standing history in space, leveraging #EUSpace technology to improve infrastructure, stimulate innovation, create jobs and ensure the well-being of citizens.

On the occasion of the Czech Space Week, it is worthwhile to focus on four ways, out of many, the Czech Republic is making great use of Galileo and EGNOS:

1. Equipping Prague trams with state-of-the-art Galileo receivers: As part of the modernization of the city´s tram fleet, by the end of 2020, Prague trams will be benefiting from Galileo’s additional accuracy to increase network efficiency and improve user experience.
2. Easing the flow of goods across EU borders: Thanks to their expertise, Czech companies have contributed to the development of the ‘’Galileo Green Lane App’’, the mobile application that facilitates the flow of freight and critical goods across the EU borders during COVID.

In June 2020, Alstom became the first railway manufacturer to integrate certified data fusion algorithms for fail-safe train localization, using position and speed of trains based on GNSS data coming from multiple constellations including Galileo, the European Union navigation satellite system.

The added-value of Galileo and EGNOS, the European Union Global Navigation Satellite System (EGNSS) in the European railway sector  is widely known, especially when it comes to non-safety applications, such asset management and passenger information services. In recent years, however, with multi-constellation becoming the norm and multifrequency receivers being adopted rapidly, rail stakeholders view GNSS-based solutions as game-changers for the future of European Train Control System (ETCS). 

A recent example of E-GNSS adoption in rail operations is the innovative odometry solution deployed by Alstom to measure the location and speed of its trains. The French rolling stock manufacturer introduced a new sensor type, with a hybridisation of satellite information and inertial sensors. The solution is primarily using GNSS Doppler information, derived from Galileo, GPS and GLONASS constellations (configurable). Such use allows to improve the overall confidence in the resulting speed, along with specific algorithms to master the resulting location accuracy. The GNSS receiver is an automotive grade receiver manufactured by u-blox. The Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) used to supplement information in case of GNSS loss is based on enhanced micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, with temperature compensation. The new odometry system based on data fusion, which Alstom is currently implementing in Norway, is applicable to all types of trains and all environments, including the harshest weather conditions. It is estimated that by 2026, 450 trains will be equipped with this new feature across Norway.

Increased Safety, Lower Costs for rail companies

Wheel slipping and sliding especially during demanding weather conditions can affect the odometer accuracy and the proper functioning of the different sensors involved. By incorporating Galileo signals as an extra layer of accuracy, Alstom managed to create a system that is capable of providing a more robust speed and location estimate. This space data fusion approach -certified by Belgorail- minimizes the need for the costly external radar components for localisation and speed measurement currently used.

“Industry embedding Galileo in their solutions is the proof that we are on the right path to ensure the market uptake of the EU Space Programme technology. This is a recognition of the capability of EGNSS to reduce the need for infrastructure and related cost, while maintaining the operational safety of ETCS.” Declared Rodrigo da Costa, GSA Executive Director.

The European GNSS Agency joined the global timing and sync community at the International Timing and Sync Forum (ITSF) 2020 to share Galileo-based applications for Critical Infrastructures.

The International Timing and Sync Forum (ITSF) is one of the largest time and synchronisation conferences showcasing solutions for 4G/5G, Finance, Broadcast, Automotive, Smart Grids, IoT, Distributed Datacentres, and Transport and Defence. The European GNSS Agency joined virtually this three-day event to discuss the latest trends in Timing and Synchronisation and present the accurate and cost-effective solutions Galileo can offer to Critical Infrastructures users through newly designed services. 

Critical infrastructures management powered by Galileo

With only 0,7% of the overall GNSS market, the Critical Infrastructures (CI) segment, is driven by its strategic importance rather than its size. Currently, telecommunications represent 90% of the overall CI market and with the arrival of 5G, shipments of GNSS devices are expected to soar. What’s more, new regulations require financial institutions to trace operations within a consistent and accurate time scale, while smart grids are replacing traditional solutions in the field of Energy. Built around these developments, Valeria Catalano, GSA’s Time and Synchronisation expert delivered a presentation highlighting the positive impact of Galileo in the market.

With GNSS taking center stage in the rapid evolutions of this market, and Galileo demonstrating superior performance in comparison to other GNSS constellations, the European GNSS Agency has been investing in Research and Development, and monitoring applications based on Galileo’s robust signals.

Through its Fundamental Elements R&D instrument, the GSA has been developing receivers, antennas and related technology to support the Galileo uptake. GIANO and GEARS are two Fundamental Elements funded projects that are developing Galileo-enabled timing receivers.

• GIANO: The GIANO receiver will make critical infrastructures such as energy networks more robust against jamming and spoofing.
• GEARS: The GEARS project will provide accurate and highly robust Galileo-based time and frequency data for critical infrastructures.

Protecting CI and their major components is essential to maintain vital societal functions. With this in mind, the GSA analysed the importance of the following categories of Timing Services based on the achievement of the H2020 DEMETRA project. The applications are of particular interest to Critical Infrastructures user as well as laboratories.

• Time Integrity (dashboard): providing the validation and performance assessment of the timing information disseminated by the Galileo system. 
• Trusted Time Distribution and Remote Audit: enabling the remote assessment of the client clock synchronisation and allowing the dissemination of UTC time and frequency over the Internet. 
• Certified Time Steering and Monitoring: disseminating precise and accurate time using multi-GNSS Galileo-based Time transfer and providing real-time monitoring and certification of the time offset between the user terminal and the time reference facility.
• Robust Accurate Time: offering robustness against GNSS signals, system failures (incl. jamming and spoofing) and against failures or attack on the communication network.

According to the GSA GNSS 2019 Market Report the resilience of the timing functionality is paramount in order to ensure service continuity in CI. Galileo’s Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) will be particularly relevant to Critical Infrastructures’ operators to improve trustability, resilience and ease of traceability. 

In addition, Galileo’s High Accuracy Service will provide network operators with a very high level of Timing accuracy, improving Timing stability. This could ease the deployment challenges and allow the development of new value-added services. To find out more about the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) stay tuned for the upcoming Info Note.

Interested in knowing more about how Galileo’s T&S capabilities benefit Critical Infrastructures? Join us at the 2020 User Consultation Platform (UCP). 1-2 December 2020. The UCP - part of the EU Space Week 2020 - serves as forum where a wide range of users from 12 different market segments meet to confer on the requirements of location, navigation, timing and Earth observation services.

The drone market is flourishing and it is expected to outstrip any other user base in the aviation market. According to estimations, revenues from drone-based services are expected to exceed 150 million euros by 20231 . The European GNSS is a key enabling technology for drones, robust positioning and precise timing and synchronization capabilities offered by Galileo and EGNOS are real added values that facilitate the integration of drones into non-segregated airspace and the U-space. The #MyGalileoDrone competition is a vehicle for boosting GNSS-based innovative applications, create new business opportunities for EU industry, with focus on SMEs and start-ups, t and ensuring Galileo uptake in the UAV market contributes to the achievement  of the European Commission’s priorities in terms of growth, innovation and sustainability.
