Galileo Moving Towards “Early Services”:

Status and ChallengesDr. ing. Marco Lisi

European Space AgencySpecial Advisor to the European Commission

19th Ka and 31st AIAA ICSSC Joint ConferenceFlorence, October 2013

Summary • EGNOS and Galileo are the key elements of the European

navigation “system of systems”, a strategic and critical infrastructure of the European Union;

• The Galileo global navigation satellite system, joint initiative by the European Union and the European Space Agency, is one of the most ambitious and technologically advanced service systems being developed in Europe, by European industries and with European resources;

• While the system procurement and deployment proceed following an incremental Implementation Plan, all steps are being taken for the delivery of Early Services;

• After a political decision of Vice-President Antonio Tajani, then included by President Manuel Barroso in the agenda of the European Commission, Galileo will start officially delivering Early Services, i.e. the guaranteed and committed delivery of capabilities to the community of potential customers/users, as from the end of 2014.

“Je m’engage…”

The Galileo Early Services come from the political decision of Vice-President Tajani (then included by President Barroso in the agenda ofthe European Commission) to start a guaranteed and committeddelivery of GNSS capabilities to users/customers in October 2014

Galileo Early Services: What?Early services for OS,SAR and PRS will be provided

from 2014

Open Service (OS)Delivery of a stable signal in space from a number of satellites in orbit, allowing ranging interoperable with GPS; time broadcasting

Public Regulated Service (PRS)

Delivery of a stable secure signal in space allowing Pilot Projects with EU Member States

Search and Rescue Service (SAR)

Guaranteed “forward link” which allows the detection and localization of distress signals; validation with Cospas-Sarsat

Commercial Service (CS) Initial demonstration projects with potential service providers

The former “Safety-of-Life” Serviceis being re-profiled:

Integrity Monitoring Service

Provides vital integrity information for life-critical applications
