They all use data! The EU Space Programme is key for the future! The EU Space Programme (1)

▪ 2 flagship programmes ▪ Copernicus is the The EU largest space data ▪ Galileo supports over 250,000 provider in the world jobs ✓ High-quality GNSS ✓ Free, full and open ▪ Major role in climate which provides accurate access to satellite change, disaster relief positioning and reliable data and boosting timing information innovation ✓ Services: land ✓ Sectors: transport, monitoring, agriculture, health, marine finance, search and environment rescue…). monitoring, atmosphere ✓ Over 1 billion monitoring, smartphones are climate change, Galileo-enabled emergency ✓ GNSS accounts for 10% management and of the EU’s GDP security The EU Space Programme (2)

▪ The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) improves the accuracy and reliability of GNSS positioning information and is used to provide safety-critical navigation services to aviation, maritime and land- based users.

▪ Space Situational Awareness service monitors and protects space assets. It provides surveillance and tracking services to 129 European .

• Govsatcom, or Government Satellite Communication is a programme aiming to provide EU security institutions with secure communication between commercial and military satellites. Copernicus support networks

Copernicus Academy

• Reach academic institutions worldwide • Enable global Earth Observation research network • Promote space in education • Accelerate research to market link • Build skills

Copernicus Relays

• Reach end-users in different countries and regions worldwide • Content localization • Local and global cooperation • Support to local users • Organizing promotional events and training The European Global Navigation Satellite Systems: Galileo and EGNOS

- They are 2 separate satellite constellations which provide PNT signals (Galileo) and greater precision /augmentation (EGNOS)

- Both Galileo and EGNOS are already operational

- Managed and financed by the European Commission – DG DEFIS

- Geared towards industrial and innovation development

- Supported by a strong ecosystem: European GNSS Agency; Galileo Service Centre; ESA

- 2 Galileo Information Centres (Chile – regional coverage) and Brazil. Forthcoming: Mexico (to also cover Central America and the Caribbean) Growth will be observed worldwide

EGNSS support Centres

The Galileo Information Centres

Services provided:

▪ Market analysis and stakeholder identification ▪ EGNSS promotion and public diplomacy European Global Navigation Satellite System ▪ Facilitate Development of EGNSS-based applications https://galileoic-brazil.com/ ▪ Training and capacity-building on EGNSS. https://galileoic.cl/en/home/ ▪ Facilitate EGNSS-related industrial cooperation between EU and Latin-American stakeholders The Galileo Information Centres Building #EU Space together: Synergy-building between Copernicus and Galileo networks

- EU political context : EU strategic autonomy; twin ‘green’ and digital transformations; EU Space Programme – most advanced satellite systems and services in the world

- The European space industry: over 230 000 professionals. Value added : EUR 46-54 billion

- In a globalised more than ever inter-connected world (COVID 19), satellite technologies and services will increase their market share exponentially in the coming years (+6-10% p.a.)

- The EU space ecosystem requires all available instruments and networks to support in a coordinated manner EU Space leadership and help increase market share worldwide

Each network will continue to support their respective ecosystems but must seek mechanisms for closer interaction to better support, gain efficiency and provide added-value to the EU Space ecosystem (e.g. transversal working groups; joint activities; exchange of best practices; shared training schemes)
