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.

EGNOS has reached an impressive milestone with 1,000 approach procedures now utilising its Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS). This achievement highlights EGNOS's vital role in transforming aviation safety, accessibility, and sustainability across Europe.

The 15 years of EGNOS Open Service (OS) highlights Europe’s leadership in building a robust satellite navigation system that has also become a worldwide reference to other SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System) systems around the world. 

EGNOS, initially deployed for safety of life navigation services in aviation, has expanded its applications to emerging domains such as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations, which have evolved exponentially in the recent years.

The new EGNOS SoL Service for Aviation SDD introduces several updates designed to improve the precision, reliability, and safety of satellite navigation services in aviation. 

Eight months ago, the release of EGNOS last version marked a significant milestone in the evolution of this essential technology, and its performance has been exceptional, even amid the challenges of the solar peak

The signing of an EGNOS working agreement (EWA) between the European Satellite Services Provider (ESSP) and the German Armed Forces marks a significant milestone in the collaboration between civil and military aviation sectors. This agreement will enable the implementation of new EGNOS-based procedures in German airspace
