The two-day event will gather on 13-14 September Europe’s major rail stakeholders, including key decision makers and representatives across the entire value chain to debate the introduction of the European Union’s Space Programme assets in the rail sector.
From satellite navigation thanks to Galileo and EGNOS to Earth Observation thanks to Copernicus, each component of the EU Space Programme brings added value to the different phases of disaster risk management. Soon, the addition of GOVSATCOM and IRIS2 will add an extra layer of efficiency in the management of disasters by providing secured and uninterrupted satellite communications to EU Member States.
While the archaeology of the movies tends to focus on the fedoras, whips and last crusades, actual archaeologists depend on space technologies like GNSS and Earth Observation.
The Emergency Warning Satellite Service (EWSS) is a new service of the Galileo programme, which is at the disposal of national civil protection authorities to alert the population in case of a looming disaster. This new ground-breaking feature of the EU’s positioning system will serve as an alternative solution in case traditional terrestrial alerting systems are not available.
With over 20.000 satellites expected to be launched in the next decade, space is becoming increasingly congested, and the situation is especially pronounced in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The abundance of satellites is not only responsible for "an unprecedented space traffic jam" but it’s also the cause of a large amount of space debris which is increasing at an alarming rate.
Five EU space start-ups shine bright with €100,000 Cash Prize each during the Cassini myEUspace competition. These innovative start-ups showcased solutions using Galileo and Copernicus data, spanning sectors like tourism and health with plans to expand globally.
The input gathered by EU Space Programme users during the User Consultation Platform 2022 was used to compile a set of analytical reports covering various market segments. The reports include user needs and requirements concerning Copernicus for the first time and are now available for download.
