EGNOS, Europe's regional satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS), is adding a new service to its repertoire: The EGNOS Safety of Life Assisted Service for Maritime Users (ESMAS).

The European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) plays a pivotal role in implementing the EU Space Programme. EUSPA requires therefore robust support services to effectively execute its responsibilities and mission.

A new update of the Galileo OSNMA Receiver Guidelines (v1.3) is now available. The scope of this update is the provision of additional test vectors and sample data supporting the verification of the OSNMA functionality implementation.

Whether caused by nature or human activity, the on-going disasters in our continent highlight the necessity for innovative tools and solutions for resilient risk management and response. The objective is to safeguard lives and protect properties.

The publication of an updated version of the Galileo OSNMA Internet Data Distribution (IDD) Interface Control Document (ICD) and the Certificate Practice and Certificate Practice Standards (CS/CPS), together with the OSNMA operational cryptographic material, will allow users and receiver manufacturers to finalize the implementation of the OSNMA protocol in advance of the OSNMA Initial Service provision phase.

The process to request a Galileo PRN Code is available at the GSC. It allows interested users to initiate the request for a PRN code by submitting the “Application for PRN Code Assignment” through the GSC HelpDesk (www.gsc-europa.eu).

A new version of the Galileo Open Service Signal In Space Interface Control Document is now available. This update includes the support to the new Extended Operations Mode (EOM). It introduces the ARAIM Integrity Support Message (ISM) within the I/NAV message transmitted in E1. It addresses links to the OSNMA ICD and NTCM documents, as well as a new Annex with the policy for the assignment of Galileo PRN codes for those GNSS planning to transmit Galileo-like signals.

An update of the Galileo Open Service Signal In Space Interface Control Document is now available. The main scope of this update is the inclusion of the improvements of the Open Service, accounting for the current constellation of operational satellites and updates in the ground infrastructure.

Continuing from the combined survey model launched last year, this multiple-choice survey only takes a few minutes to complete but your contribution can have a huge impact on the future performance of EGNOS and Galileo.

An update of the Galileo OSNMA Receiver Guidelines has been published. The scope of this update is the inclusion of examples of OSNMA Verifications (Annex A) and a first set of OSNMA test vectors (Annex B) as a complement to testing with the SiS.
