Before the end of the year, there is one more opportunity to learn, exchange and network with EU Space leaders and innovators: we are pleased to announce the EGNOS SERVICE STATUS SESSION 2020, the annual meeting for EGNOS stakeholders, decision-makers, industry and users, as well as application developers. This year, the EGNOS meeting has become virtual, and its online edition is scheduled for December 8 from 14.00 to 15.30 within the EUROPEAN SPACE WEEK.

The EU Space Programme is evolving and so are the needs and requirements of its user community. The 3rd edition of the User Consultation Platform (UCP) will be held on 1-2 December 2020 as part of the preparatory phase of the 2020 European Space Week.

Although the outbreak of the Global Health crisis has slowed down or halted projects in all sectors, the process of signing EGNOS Working Agreements in many European airports has continued as planned. In the last five months, 4 new European organizations have settled EGNOS Working Agreements (EWAs) as a first step towards implementing EGNOS-based operations in the near future.

The top EU Space Conference will be on your screens from 7th to 11th December 2020. Held under the auspices of the German Presidency of the European Union, EU Space Week 2020 will be packed full of exciting events ranging from plenary sessions, keynotes, discussions and conference sessions, competition awards ceremonies, and much more. So, gear up and save the date!

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as Galileo or GPS are made up of 24 to 30 satellites orbiting in medium Earth orbit (regularly at around 20,000 km altitude) on three orbital spheres. Thanks to very precise onboard clocks, each satellite delivers timing information that is used by receivers on the ground to calculate positioning information worldwide. As individual car drivers, we are accustomed to being guided on our car journeys, but this positioning information is also used for mobility in the broadest sense, whatever the means of transportation, to help position and navigate on our trips.
