The EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) publishes a procurement on the “Evolution of the European GNSS Service Centre (E-GSC) Infrastructure”. To encourage the widest participation possible, the Agency is organizing an industry day to present the details of the call on 15 February 2022 at 10.00.

A key link between Galileo and its users is the European GNSS Service Centre (GSC). Located in a fully secured environment outside Madrid, the GSC is at the heart of Galileo´s service provision. The centre serves as a single interface between Galileo and the users of the Galileo Open Service (OS), that is also contributing to the Galileo Search and Rescue Service. In the future, it will play a key role for Galileo´s differentiators such as the Galileo High Accuracy Service and the OS Navigation Message Authentication Service. As an integral part of EUSPA, the GSC is a centre of expertise, knowledge sharing, data and information dissemination. 

With this important procurement, EUSPA is looking for a partner to provide services and supplies to support the Agency in shaping the future versions of the E-GSC infrastructure to enable the evolutions of several E-GNSS services. EUSPA is committed to promoting the widest participation possible by economic operators, including new entrants, in particular start-ups and SMEs. To do so, the agency is organizing an industry day on 15 February 2022 at 10.00 am to present the details of the procurement on “Evolution of the European GNSS Service Centre (E-GSC) Infrastructure”. 

Participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about the mission of the GSC, the procurement documentation and the submission process.

The Galileo SAR, reached new heights with a record-breaking location accuracy performance of 98.12% below 2km. The EU constellation is the biggest contributor to the Cospas-Sarsat MEOSAR system. 

The Galileo Search and Rescue Service (SAR) was launched on 15 December 2016 to provide aid to people in distress or imminent danger. The Galileo SAR service relays highly accurate, timely, and reliable distress alert data to Cospas-Sarsat. 

Under EUSPA management, the Galileo SAR Service has been introducing breakthrough features such as the Galileo Return Link Service which was declared operational in January 2020. Since then, the service has been going from strength to strength, consistently exceeding the minimum performance levels committed in the SAR/Galileo Service Definition Document.

Similarly, the SAR Galileo Forward Link Service (FLS) has seen the addition of new elements such as the SAR/Galileo calibration beacons as well as continuous upgrades of its ground infrastructure that are significantly contributing to excellent operability, performance and therefore overall SAR Galileo Service delivery.

Unprecedented levels of location accuracy for Galileo

The EU Agency for the Space Programme is committed to delivering top-notch satellite services which is why the dedicated Galileo team performs continuous quantitative controls to monitor key performance parameters (KPI) of the Galileo SAR service. 

One of the most relevant performance parameters gauged is the "quality of the location service" or location accuracy. The said KPI measures the probability of success in locating any emergency distress with an error better than 2km and 10minutes within the declared SAR/Galileo Coverage Area. Thanks to a streamlined Galileo SAR service delivery and a robust infrastructure, the SAR/Galileo achieved an average location accuracy within a 2km value of 98.12% during December 2021, the best location accuracy performance since the start of the operations (see graph below).
