Irish airport to take part in the EGNOS system
On 24 July, ESA signed a contract with the Irish Aviation Authority to install satellite navigation equipment at Cork airport in Ireland. This will form part of EGNOS, Europe's first venture into satellite navigation and the first step on the way to Galileo, Europe's own satellite navigation system which is a joint initiative of the European Commission and ESA. The new equipment to be installed... View More (2001-08-09)
Pinpoint accuracy with the Proba camera
A new star tracker allowing a satellite to determine its orientation in space with an accuracy never seen before has proved its worth aboard ESA`s Proba mission. Proba (Project for On-Board Autonomy) built by Verhaert (Belgium) for ESA was launched in Autumn 2001 and is now fully operational, carrying out a series of Earth observations with extreme accuracy. Such accuracy is only possible because... View More (2002-06-04)
