SES ASTRA Awarded Second Navigation Payload for EGNOS
Yes this news may be a few weeks old for some of our readers , but it's another big step of this Luxembourg based company together with the precursor system of long expected Gallileo.
SES ASTRA has been awarded a second contract by the European Commission (EC) to provide hosted payload services for EGNOS, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service. The contract was awarded following a tender by the European Commission. EGNOS is Europe's first contribution to satellite navigation and a precursor of Galileo, the global satellite navigation system that the European Union (EU) is developing. The program is managed by the EC on behalf of the European Union.
