The European Satellite Services Provider (ESSP) stands as a cornerstone among European companies belonging to the European satellite-based services ecosystem. As the company celebrates its 15th anniversary, it is the right time to reflect on its journey, its significant achievements, and its strong commitment to the European Union (EU) policy and aerospace technology developments. Since its creation in 2009, ESSP has been operating under the mandate of the European Union Space Programme Agency (EUSPA) and the EU, evolving from a specialized service provider to a key player in satellite navigation, communication and surveillance services.

Thales, Spire and ESSP are joining forces to develop a satellite constellation and offer new space-based surveillance services for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs).

The 100+ satellite constellation will provide real-time air traffic surveillance, enhancing aviation safety, sustainability and airspace security.

The EGNOS Workshop is the opportunity to learn about the evolution of EGNOS services and connect with Europe’s Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) users.

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.

South Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) and ESSP (European Satellite Service Provider) again sealed their collaboration by signing a new contract for the second phase of preparation of KASS (Korea Augmentation Satellite System).

Croatia Airlines has successfully completed the major part of the DASH Q400 aircraft modernization project in which Dash aircraft are equipped with new navigation equipment.

The agreement will enable the publication of EGNOS-based approach procedures in this Danish airport.

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.
