The EGNOS Safety of Life Assisted Service for Maritime users (ESMAS) can be now fully exploited by users with type-approved equipment developed according to the recently published IEC-61108-7 Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) Standard for Shipborne Receivers.

On Wednesday 2 October 2019, from 09:00 – 17:00 CET, SESAR Deployment Manager and the European Space Agency are organising an event to update all ATM stakeholders on Iris, a new satellite-based air–ground communication system for Air Traffic Management. The day will bring you a diversity of keynotes from all involved partners and three round table sessions, where various aspects of the solution Iris and its deployment will be discussed in interactive sessions.

The race will take place in Cascais from October 11th to October 15th, where sailors will rely on EGNOS accuracy for their navigation needs, mainly at the start line.
