(ESA photo)The European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA), on behalf of the European Commission, has launched an Internet portal for the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) designed to help developers and entrepreneurs vying for a slice of the emerging satellite navigation market.
The European counterpart to the U.S. GPS Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), EGNOS is a satellite-based augmentation system that provides real-time differential corrections and integrity information about GPS operations.
Our hosts at Infineon Technologies AG today kept wanting to apologize for the snow, but Richard Fischer and I assured them that Oregon and New Jersey were no strangers to the stuff. Especially Richard, coming off this year’s season of perpetual storms on the East Coast.
