1 EuroAfrica-ICT Awareness Workshop: AFSAGA FP6 Project Eugene Avenant CSIR Satellite Application Centre

2 African Satellite communications and Galileo applications Slide 2 CSIR euroafrica-ict March 28,

Objectives Strategic objectives addressed: FP6-2005-Space-1, 2.3.

3 Objectives Strategic objectives addressed: FP Space-1, Satellite Telecommunications, International co-operation, Combined Galileo satellite telecommunication services The objectives of the project are to develop the use of combined EGNOS/Galileo and Satcom applications from both a short term and a longer term perspective in the Southern African Development Community Consortium: 1. ALCATEL (ALCATEL ALENIA SPACE FRANCE) 2. CSIR, SAC (Satellite Application Centre) Slide 3 CSIR euroafrica-ict March 28,

4 Expected results To increase the awareness of the potential of applications which can take advantage of EGNOS/ Galileo and in particular those related to combined satellite telecommunication with satellite navigation throughout Southern African Development Community. To obtain a structured view of the applications in the specific context of the Southern African development Community To identify barriers to the development of such applications setup and have develop a corresponding action plan To make the above findings known not only to the user community representatives but also to the regional stakeholders.

5 What is Galileo? Constellation of 30 satellites Altitude of km European version of GPS Satellites have extremely accurate clocks on board Receivers know orbits Calculate position from relative time of min 4 satellites Slide 5 CSIR euroafrica-ict March 28,

6 What is EGNOS? EGNOS, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service The EGNOS space segment is composed of three geostationary satellites: two Inmarsat-3 satellites (AOR-E and IOR-W) and ESA s Artemis satellite 34 reference stations are deployed to monitor the satellites used for navigation (1 at SAC) availability is improved by broadcasting GPS look-alike signals from up to three geostationary satellites; accuracy is improved to between 1 and 2 metres horizontally and between 2 and 4 metres vertically; and integrity and safety are improved by alerting users within 6 seconds if a malfunction occurs in EGNOS or GPS.
