GALILEO re-structuring

.Year 2007: re-structuring

» Implementation funding secured: 3.4 billion € (some 4.7 billion $)

» European Commission• Fully in charge or EU GNSS programme management• Owner

» European Space Agency • Integrator and project manager for Galileo• architect

.Giove-A launched on 28 December 2005

» Securing of Galileo frequencies» Still operating

.Giove-B launched on 27 April 2008

» First maser atomic clock ever flown» Implementation of MBOC signal» Working as expected

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

EGNOS Extensions - MEDA

MEDA Extension

European Processing Area

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

Middle-East RegionalExtension

European Processing Area

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
