GALILEO OVERVIEW AND STATUS Alexandre Steciw Cracow-23 September 2004
The European Approach (1) EGNOS Civil augmentation to military GPS and GLONASS Signals distributed through 2 Inmarsat / 1 Artemis Geo Transponders Interoperable with WAAS and MSAS (ICAO standard, seamless service) Pre-operational EGNOS Signals already available through EGNOS Testbed since early 2000 – used for tests and demonstrations Fully Operational Signal in 2004 Initiative of the European Commission, Eurocontrol and ESA EGNOS is the first contribution of Europe into GNSS and the first step towards Galileo
The European Approach (2) Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System Under Civil Control Independent but compatible and interoperable with GPS and GLONASS With service guarantees Target Date to be operational - 2008 Initiative of the European Commission and ESA
Galileo Services Galileo Satellite-only Navigation, Positioning & Timing Services (through the Galileo Signal-In-Space): Open Service (OS) –free and available to the public Commercial Service (CS) – under commercial conditions Safety of Life Service (SoL)- for safety-of life applications & users Public Regulated Service (PRS)- for government authorised users Support to the Search and Rescue Service (SAR): 406/1544.1 MHz transparent Forward Link for COSPAS/SARSAT compatible distress beacons localisation in the COSPAS/SARSAT ground segment SAR Return Link Messages (Acknowledgement & Coordination) through Galileo Signal in Space
Galileo Services Galileo Locally Assisted Services: Network Assisted/ Location Based Services Indoor Positioning Services High Precision Navigation & Positioning Services Galileo SIS plus Local Augmentations: Improved safety-of life applications, e.g. for trains & railways, port navigation, precision landing approach etc. Road applications (predicted adaptive cruise control, tolling etc.)
Galileo Services Galileo Combined Services Galileo + other satellite navigation system (SBAS, GPS, GLONASS,...) Galileo + other non-satellite navigation systems (LORAN C, mobile systems,…) Galileo + communications systems (GSM, GPRS, UMTS,…) EGNOS Services augmenting GPS and complementing Galileo services Wide area differential corrections for GPS over ECAC region Real-time Integrity messages for GPS-based Safety-of Life applications Ionosphere corrections for single-frequency users Complementary GPS-like ranging signals for improved availability
