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.

Where are they now?

Leveraging the support they received via the CASSINI initiative, companies of all shapes and sizes have gone on to develop some very cool space-based solutions.
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.

Space Surveillance and Tracking: a global challenge

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.

On the heels of its new Secure SATCOM Market and User Technology Report, EUSPA recently held a webinar covering everything from market opportunities to the latest technological trends.

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

The 12 Days of EU Space

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

EU Space Week Demo Day featured showstoppers such as an interactive virtual reality experience, GNSS receivers, ground monitoring solutions and even a 13-metre-tall rocket ship.

Demonstrating the power of EU Space

Visitors to EU Space Week 2023 had an opportunity to discover cutting edge applications that use data from Galileo, EGNOS and Copernicus.

During EU Space Week, participants learned how EU Space Traffic Management (STM) is working to mitigate the threat of space debris colliding with satellites.

Safeguarding space operations with STM

A panel discussion at EU Space Week highlights the critical role that Space Traffic Management (STM) plays in keeping Europe’s space assets safe and secure.
