What is Galileo? The European satellite radionavigation programme

Galileo will be a new navigation satellite constellations fitting into the global concept of GNSS and transmitting positioning signals to a variety of users, among them civil aviation.

How far is Galileo? The definition phase has already been completed.

Galileo is based on a constellation of 30 satellites placed in medium earth orbit and continuously covering the entire surfaceof the earth.

EGNOS is the first step to Galileo and part of the European Satellite Navigation Strategy. It will become operational in early 2004 and is partially funded by air traffic services providers. EGNOS will remain fully compliant with the ICAO SBAS SARPS and be interoperable with WAAS.

EGNOS will pave the way and reduce the risks for GALILEO in different domains:

Key interests for civil aviation in a GNSS service relying on redundant, interoperable and multi-frequency GALILEO and GPS constellations

Improved performance, with the positive impact to reduce complexity and cost.

Redundancy (No common mode failures)

Improved robustness to interference

Ease World Wide acceptance of this new technology

The development phase has been launched

Commission to establish the Joint Undertaking as soon as possible together with ESAPrivate sector participation possible at a later stage

On 26 March, the Transport Council agreed on the Regulation governing the statutes of the Joint Undertaking...

€ 450m as Trans-European Network project with the Joint Undertaking as beneficiary (in addition to € 100m already released and € 550m ESA contribution)annual payments from 2002 to 2005

…and on the release of the remaining € 450m to fund the development phase

Economic aspects of GALILEO

Development and deployment costs are put at €3.2 billion.

Costs of the system

Economic viability

That is the price of 150 km of semi-urban motorway or of just one track of the main tunnel for the future high-speed rail link between Lyon and Turin.

Jobs created: 140 000

Market created: €9 billion/year

Cost/benefit ratio: 4.6 over 20 years, taking air and sea transport alone. No other infrastructure project in Europe can match a ratio like that.

Society as a whole will benefit, not just investors in the programme. For example, improving air traffic control will save passengers time and airlines money and cut pollution by emissions from aircraft.

The GALILEO management structure

Role

To establish management structures and a business plan.To harness public and private funding. To publish calls for tenders to set up the system.To launch the first satellites, in partnership with the ESA.

Founder members: Community, European Space Agency

Other Members:

For the first time ever this form of company provided for under Article 171 of the Treaty is to be set up. It will allow a single effective management body for Galileo combining public and private funding.

GALILEO and the ICAO GNSSP

- EGNOS and GALILEO are the European Unions contributions to the world wide concept of GNSS in particular for the aviation sector.

- EC and ESA will continue to provide all necessary information to ICAO in order to standardise GALILEO.

- Safety and robustness will be the issues for the future work of standardising new elements for GNSS. A GNSS consisting of GALILEO, GPS and GLONASS should be able to meet these requirements.

- The Air Navigation Conference next year will reassess the GNSS concept. It will be important to demonstrate that the GNSS concept will be the future for air navigation.

• Galileo has been designed as global system with build-in regional and local enhancement capabilities

• Negotiations with the United States and Russian Federation are underway

• other parties expressed interest and some participated already in the definition studies
