The pressure is on to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases we pump into the atmosphere – but the race is also on to support the monitoring that shows if targets are being met. Being developed by ESA on behalf of the EU, the new Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitoring mission, or CO2M for short, is destined to be Europe’s prime mission for monitoring and tracking carbon dioxide emissions from human activity. CO2M is currently planned as a two-satellite mission, each of which will carry a near-infrared and shortwave-infrared spectrometer to measure atmospheric carbon dioxide at high spatial resolution. Engineers at Thales SESO in France explain how the development of some of the mission’s precision measuring and optical components is going.

Europe’s Galileo is the world’s most precise satellite navigation system, providing metre-level accuracy and very precise timing to its four billion users. An essential ingredient to ensure this stays the case are the atomic clocks aboard each satellite, delivering pinpoint timekeeping that is maintained to a few billionths of a second. These clocks are called atomic because their ‘ticks’ come from ultra-rapid, ultra-stable oscillation of atoms between different energy states. Sustaining this performance demands, in turn, even more accurate clocks down on the ground to keep the satellites synchronised and ensure stability of time and positioning for users.

In 2023 satnav receivers are everywhere: in our phones, our cars, and drones, in fixed infrastructure, aboard boats, trains and aircraft. They are also in space: more than 95% of all the satellites in low-Earth orbit carry satnav receivers to calculate their position. The additional signals from Europe’s Galileo satellites are providing a big boost to the coverage, availability, redundancy, and accuracy of spaceborne receivers, in turn enlarging the possible scope of future missions, and extending the useful range of satnav much further out into space – to the Moon and beyond.

"From a historical perspective this was one the greatest achievements of the EU," says EUSPA Executive director Rodrigo da Costa. "Determining a position on the ground using only Galileo was essentially the first step towards shielding our autonomy and sovereignty in space." he highlights.
This first position fix of longitude, latitude and altitude using the Galileo constellation took place at the Navigation Laboratory at ESA’s technical heart ESTEC, in Noordwijk, Netherlands on the morning of 12 March, with a level of accuracy between 10 and 15 metres.
Since then, Galileo has been growing, exceeding performance expectations, and enabling a multitude of applications thanks to the broad range of services it offers.
A significant milestone was marked in 2016 with the declaration of Galileo Initial Services to become available at the end of that year providing guaranteed services to users. As of today, the EU’s positioning system offers a set of services to end users with more currently under development.
With 28 satellites currently in orbit the system offers:
Open Service (OS): Open Service (OS) enables free-of-charge, global ranging, positioning and timing, using the Galileo OS Signal-In-Space (SIS).
Search and Rescue Service (SAR): The Galileo Search and Rescue service allows for the location of people in distress within 10 minutes and a radius below 5km. All you need is a Galileo-enabled Personal Location Beacon (PLB).
High Accuracy Service (HAS): On the basis of this brand new service, declared operational on the 24/01/2023, Galileo becomes the first GNSS system providing, globally and free of charge, corrections to the Galileo and GPS signals to enable a positioning accuracy down to decimetre level (when processed by a Precise Point Positioning (PPP) algorithm by the user).
"The main power of Galileo is felt in the downstream sector, especially if we think that over 4 billion Galileo-enabled smartphones have been sold and that millions of users in many sectors rely on it.” concludes EUSPA Executive Director, Rodrigo da Costa.

The Galileo is being continuously improved to ensure seamless, safe and secured service delivery 24/7 to users worldwide. EUSPA is currently working on delivering next-generation services based on Galileo’s precise signals, timing capabilities and robust performance.
Likewise, upon a successful public observation phase ongoing since November 2021, the Galileo OSNMA is expected to become operational within the coming year. The OSNMA is a new, breakthrough feature of Europe’s positioning system that meets a clear user need: improve the trustworthiness of GNSS signals. This service provides an authentication mechanism to allow Open Service users to verify that the navigation data they have received comes directly from Galileo and has not been modified.

In a shifting geopolitical landscape, secure and uninterrupted communications are vital for the sovereignty and autonomy of the European Union. In cases of crises, natural disasters, or unavailability of ground-based operators, governmental actors need access to rapidly deployable and robust satellite communications capabilities.
The EU GOVSATCOM, aims to provide initial services within 2024, will ensure the long-term availability of reliable, secure, and cost-effective governmental satellite communications services for EU and national public authorities managing security critical missions and infrastructures. During the first implementation phase running, EU GOVSATCOM will use the capacities and services provided by existing national satcom systems and accredited private operators. Access to these existing infrastructures will be provided through one or several operational Hubs interconnecting the users and the operations centres of the different satcom suppliers in a smart and secure manner.
In 2020, the H2020-funded ENTRUSTED project was set up to provide a concrete set of governmental user requirements for the upcoming GOVSATCOM services under the leadership of the EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA). With over 25 participating entities including EU Member States and agencies, the consortium's partners joined forces to also assess the currently available state-of-the-art for SatCom technologies, analyse the future trends and identify key technological gaps and opportunities, including aspects such as standardisation and interoperability.
On March 2nd, 2023, four operational GOVSATCOM use cases were demonstrated by the ENTRUSTED consortium members during a live event at the headquarters of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) in Rome, Italy. The event was met with great enthusiasm and gathered representatives of the Network of Users, current and prospective users of GOVSATCOM services, national experts and decision-makers. It was also a unique opportunity to discuss different aspects of secure satellite connectivity, share experience and draw attention to more specific user expectations. During the demo phase, attendees experienced real-time satellite connections in an operational environment.
A first scenario was showcased live, demonstrating the access to secure SATCOM services for both a land vehicle via on-the-move technology and a fixed ground terminal in an emergency theatre, pooling together space connectivity from the Italian Athena-Fidus and the Luxembourg national system.
Use Case No. 2 by the Luxembourg Space Agency involved simulations of a natural disaster and an armed conflict and highlighted the secured capabilities of GOVSAT-1 co-owned by SES and the Luxembourg government.
Use case No. 3 by the Hellenic ministries of Digital Governance and Defence showcased a multilateral, highly secured video conference between three Greek EU Delegations and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The connection was facilitated by the country’s national operator Hellas SAT, which provides governmental actors with high-throughput and robust data via a set of two geostationary satellites. The system is also used by the Greek armed forces.
Use Case No. 4 by the European Defence Agency presented a pooling and sharing service provision model. Such a model can be used in EU Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) military operations. Resilient EU Satcoms will provide operational capacity to deploy civilian and military missions and operations abroad.
IRIS² combines the benefits offered by Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary (GEO), and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites. This new component of the EU Space Programme will put an end to dead zones in Europe as well as the whole of Africa using the constellation's North-South orbits through a resilient and ultra-secure space and ground-based system. It may include the development and launch of up to 170 LEO satellites between 2025 and 2027.

The IRIS² constellation in particular shares many links with the GOVSATCOM component of the European Space Programme. While supporting governments falls in line with the traditional role of GOVSATCOM, IRIS²’s use of new technologies like cryptography, its modular architecture based on multiorbital functionalities, its commercial ambitions, and its goal to further stimulate the competitiveness of the already existing market, showcase its evolution from GOVSATCOM.
The Union Secure Connectivity Programme (including IRIS2) infrastructure should be based upon, integrate and complement the infrastructure developed for the purposes of the of the GOVSATCOM component.
The main function of GOVSATCOM component is to link, in a secure manner, the GOVSATCOM users to the providers of GOVSATCOM capacity and services and thereby optimise the supply and demand at any given moment.
The Union Secure Connectivity Programme governmental services (including IRIS2) shall be accessible to authorized user by GOVSATCOM Hub and integrated into GOVSATCOM Service Portfolio.
The EU Agency for the Space Programme is already actively involved in building secure satellite communication infrastructure for Europe through the coordination of the first phase of GOVSATCOM on which IRIS2 will be based.

Today Galileo is the world’s most precise satellite navigation system, delivering metre-level accuracy, and if you are a modern smartphone owner then you – like nearly four billion others around the world – are among its users. This week we are celebrating that almost exactly a decade ago, on 12 March 2013, Europe for the first time ever was able to determine a position on the ground using only its own independent navigation system, Galileo.
