The EUSPA Executive Director, Rodrigo da Costa welcomed Prime Minister Andrej Babiš at the agency’s headquarters on the occasion of 9 years of #EUSpace in Prague. Mr Babiš had the opportunity to experience first-hand cutting-edge applications that leverage data from the EU Space Programme.

In 2012, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) moved its operations from Brussels, Belgium to Prague, Czech Republic. The Agency has since then become a point of reference in the European space industry particularly when it comes to building Europe’s independent capacity in satellite navigation with Galileo and EGNOS.

On May 12th 2021, the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) was created on the basis of GSA but with extended scope and with the task to underpin the first-ever integrated space programme of the European Union. EUSPA takes on responsibility for various new Space Programme components and leverages the GSA’s technical expertise, market intelligence, security and know-how to create synergies that will take EU space services and applications to a new level.

Today, to commemorate the 9th anniversary of EUSPA in the host country, Czech Republic, the Executive Director, Rodrigo da Costa welcomed Prime Minister Andrej Babiš at the headquarters of the agency. Mr Babiš had the opportunity to experience first-hand EU Space applications such as a Galileo-enabled beacon with the Return Link Service, land a commercial plane with the help of EGNOS and fly a drone equipped with a Galileo and EGNOS receiver. “EUSPA is turning the EU space ambitions into a reality” declared the EUSPA Executive Director.

Rodrigo da Costa presented to the guests how the EU Space Programme can be a lever to drive digitization across the Union and support the achievement of EU Green Deal goals such as curbing CO2 emissions in road and air transportation with powerful synergies between Galileo, Copernicus and EGNOS. The upcoming secure satellite communications system for governmental users, GOVSATCOM, was among the main topics discussed during the visit.

‘’We are well aware of the growing strategic importance of the space industry and services provided by satellite systems in our everyday lives. Europe cannot afford to remain on the sidelines in this arena and must maintain its position among the world’s leading nations. That is why I am very pleased that the Czech Republic will be able to build on its successful cooperation with the GSA and host the GSA´s successor, EUSPA, here in Prague," said Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Andrej Babiš.

Prime minister Babis was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Karel Havlíček and top government officials while at this special ceremony Members of the European Parliement and European Commission representatives were present.

‘’It was an honour to have the Prime Minister of the host country on such a special day for the agency. EUSPA will continue working, together with all Member States, towards building a robust EU space sector that will secure Europe’s autonomy, economic growth and resilience’’, concluded da Costa.

The interactive world map is an online tool to help find information about augmentation service providers that support Galileo. By clicking on each country, the map shows the names of the Galileo-ready providers along with the name and type of service and coverage.

Standard GNSS positioning is often affected by several errors. These errors can be corrected using augmentation services to provide a more accurate and precise position. With augmentation services, users can operate their receivers virtually anywhere on the globe and, by means of receiving data from a control centre, are able to achieve accuracies ranging from meter to centimetre-level, depending on the hardware, platform and application.

Today, there are different augmentation techniques based on the use of a network of ground-based reference or monitoring stations with known locations that enable to calculate corrections (e.g. differential corrections for RTK or clocks and orbits corrections for PPP). These corrections can then be disseminated, for instance, over the internet or satellites.  

There is a wide range of GNSS augmentation service providers worldwide, tailored both for professional and consumer markets, some of them utilizing all available satellite constellations (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and Beidou ) to ensure consistent and uninterrupted coverage and provide solutions for all classes of GNSS based location services. These solutions can be utilised in a number of markets including: mapping, surveying, construction, agriculture, automotive or aviation, to name a few.

The augmentation service provider map is a thematic map updated on a quarterly basis that provides an easy way to visualize the service providers that are able to operate in each country. Clicking on each country shows the names of the Galileo-ready providers along with the name and type of service and coverage.

It is official! Following the success of the previous innovation competitions, the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) announces today #myEUSpace! The EUSPA-led competition targets innovators and entrepreneurs ready to develop and commercialise innovative solutions that leverage EU space data and services. It goes beyond the current space-applications horizon, fusing and testing new technologies in location-based services, smart mobility, smart agriculture, geomatics, and for the first time, quantum technologies.

Free and easily accessible EU Space data have allowed the creation of original and iinnovative projects and services in sectors such as IoT, precision farming, robotics and drones among others. Accurate positioning offered by Galileo, data and high-resolution imagery from Copernicus paired with the use of quantum technology will set European innovation on a new trajectory.

With a prize pool of € 1 million and over 50 awards up for grabs, #myEUspace competition - part of the European Commission Cassini initiative will help innovators develop and market  disruptive, space-based commercial solutions able to respond to emerging societal needs and serve various domains such as smart mobility and agriculture,  health and leisure, and logistics and smart cities, among others. 

The competition consists of two independent and parallel tracks, each one with a list of goals and deliverables. 

Track 1 - From Idea to Prototype/customer validation – aims to turn a theoretical idea into a product prototype/beta version. Track 2 - From Prototype to Product /Market entry – aims to develop a prototype or beta idea into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). 

The competition looks at solutions where the use and integration of EU Space data and services can disrupt the following six thematic areas:
