ESA Navigation

🧭 That's a wrap on DLR's Info Day Navigation! A big thank you to the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for hosting this insightful event and for Germany's strong support in advancing positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) capabilities in Europe. We were proud to share updates and engage in discussions on key ESA Navigation programmes: 🗺️ Genesis Mission 🛰️ LEO-PNT In-orbit Demonstration Mission 🚨 Present and future of NAVISP 🚅 EGNOS for rail Collaboration is critical as we work together to build a robust and resilient future of navigation for Europe and beyond. 🌍

Calling all EGNSS (EGNOS & Galileo) users – your insights are essential to shaping the future of the #EUSpace! 🌍 We are conducting a survey to collect feedback from everyone who uses or is involved in EGNSS technology — from receiver manufacturers to final users, including integrators, developers, academics, and researchers. 💡 Why participate? By taking just a few minutes to share your experience, you’ll help improve the performance of EGNOS & Galileo, making them even more effective for your needs and for future users across the globe. 🌐

European Space Agency - ESA and JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency strengthen cooperation with a focus on lunar exploration 🚀🌔 ESA Navigation welcomes this expanding collaboration as both agencies work toward shared goals in advancing lunar exploration, for which reliable navigation and communication services will be indispensable.   This partnership is already driving significant progress in the Moonlight programme, with cooperation in key areas such as LunaNet, Lunar Pathfinder, Lunar PNT interoperability tests, and with potential for much more.   Together, we are laying the foundation for reliable lunar navigation and communication to unlock a new era of exploration on the Moon and beyond.

Did you know European Space Agency - ESA is providing technical support to the Agency for Air Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA) to establish a new SBAS in the region? The technology being designed is based on Europe’s EGNOS and uses Galileo satellites to safely guide aircraft down for landing. The system will cover more than 16.5 million square kilometres, an area 50% larger than the EGNOS’s coverage area in Europe. Discover more about this project: https://lnkd.in/e6yxpR8K

🌕 Join us tonight for an exciting session with Javier Ventura-Traveset, European Space Agency - ESA Moonlight Navigation Science Office Lead, as part of the #SpaceWeek for Engineers! Javier will be sharing exclusive insights into ESA’s Moonlight project, a groundbreaking initiative that is paving the way for the future of lunar exploration and communication. Moonlight is ESA’s ambitious effort to create the first-ever lunar navigation and communication network. Here’s what it aims to achieve: 🛰️ Precise Lunar Navigation: Guiding astronauts, rovers, and robotic systems across the Moon’s surface with accuracy akin to GNSS on Earth. 📡 Seamless Communication: Enabling real-time data transfer between the Moon and Earth, critical for scientific missions, exploration, and even lunar mining. 🌌 Interplanetary Infrastructure: Serving as a technological stepping-stone for future missions to Mars and beyond. This talk is a must-see for engineers and space enthusiasts alike. How Moonlight supports global initiatives like NASA’s Artemis program to ensure a sustainable presence on the Moon. The innovative technologies and challenges involved in operating in the harsh lunar environment. The skills and expertise ESA and its partners are seeking to make Moonlight a reality, creating exciting opportunities for engineers in fields like navigation, telecommunications, and systems engineering. 📅 When? Tonight at 7PM ! 📹 Where? write us a comment and we share the link with you ! Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from one of ESA’s leading experts about a project that’s shaping the future of lunar exploration. Let’s get ready to bring the Moon closer than ever! #SpaceWeek #MoonlightProject #ESA #LunarExploration #SpaceEngineering #SatelliteNavigation #Innovation #SpaceCareers #ArtemisProgram #NewSpace Eduardo TAPIAS
