Space

Although originally designed to serve terrestrial users, today, GNSS also plays an important role in many space applications. Whether used for telecommunications, Earth Observation, research or navigation, Earth-orbiting satellites rely on the real-time positioning and timing provided by GNSS. Thanks to GNSS, these missions can reduce costs, improve navigation performance, and ensure the provision of trustworthy data and services.

EU SST is the European operational capability that safeguards the space assets of the EU, especially the satellites involved in the EU Space Programme, its Member States and other space operators.

The EU Space Surveillance and Tracking (EU SST) contributes to ensuring the safety and sustainability of space activities, offering services to a growing community of worldwide users. Managed by EUSPA, the EU SST Front Desk is the interface for the provision of the SST services, which currently protect more than 400 satellites.

2023 was an eventful year for EUSPA thanks to milestones such as the EU SST takeover or the implementation of Galileo HAS

It’s the last month of the year, which can only mean one thing: time for EUSPA’s annual recap.
