3 “Use or disclosure of the data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page.” Introduction – EGNOS Background
EGNOS – European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System Part of the world-wide Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) to the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS), the Russian GLONASS System and European Galileo system An initiative of the European Commission (EC) and the European Space Agency (ESA) to build a civilian component to the military navigation systems of GPS and GLONASS Provide integrity and high availability and continuity to the (aeronautical) users; improve accuracy of single-frequency navigation receivers Other SBAS elements are WAAS (US, Canada Anik 1R) and MSAS (Japan MTSAT-1R, 2) Three GEO satellites providing EGNOS signals are currently on orbit (Inmarsat 3F2, Inmarsat 4F2 and ESA Artemis satellite) Ground infrastructure deployed EGNOS Satellite operations Autonomous network of monitoring stations located throughout Europe monitor all visible GPS and GLONASS satellites Data collected by monitoring stations are processed to generate integrity messages and GPS/GLONASS/Galileo clock and ionospheric correction data EGNOS messages uplinked to satellites and down to EGNOS users via L1 and E5 channels EGNOS certified for non-safety of life (“open service”) applications earlier this month To be certified later this year for safety of life non-precision approach and approaches with vertical guidance (APV) aeronautical applications EC solicited additional GEO assets to replace the existing satellites SES providing one such asset on Sirius 5
