This summer, after more than 8 years of intensive work by ESA and European Industry, the European Geostationary Overlay Service (EGNOS) achieved two major programme milestones, with the successful completion of the formal technical-qualification process (Operational Readiness Review) and the start of initial operations. The measured performance of the system has already been shown to exceed requirements in several respects. Via the EGNOS project, the European Tripartite Group - constituted by ESA, the European Commission and Eurocontrol - has implemented the European contribution to the first-generation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS-1). ESA has been responsible for the system design, development and qualification of the advanced operational system, also known as EGNOS V1. In parallel with the start of operations, the EGNOS system will now be enhanced to enlarge the service area, to provide additional services, to further improve performance and to follow the global evolution in Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) that is taking place, leading up to the introduction of the European Galileo system.
