A new GCS (Ground Control Segment) infrastructure has been completely deployed in the Galileo Ground Control Centres and is being used to operate the Galileo Satellite Constellation

The new GCS features improved reliability and security, including the most advanced techniques

This is the result of several years of hard work, since GMV was awarded the maintenance and upgrading of the Galileo GCS

The contract includes supply of the control center and flight dynamics system, a new ground station in Río de Janeiro for the Amazonas Nexus satellite, a new satellite tracking system and sundry ground equipment, plus a new control and management system for all Hispasat’s ground stations

The deal clincher was GMV’s wealth of experience in systems of this type

Hispasat, a Spanish satellite operator, is one of GMV’s flagship clients, now running GMV systems in its whole fleet of satellites

The demonstrations will be part of FirEUrisk, a 4-year, 10-million-euro, Horizon 2020 project of the European Commission

The five regions chosen for these demos are in Portugal, Spain, Greece, Central Europe (Germany-Poland-Czech Republic) and Sweden

The project targets the prevention and reduction of wildfires and adaptation of management strategies to reduce their irreversible effects: human casualties, economic, natural and cultural heritage loss

Asgard kicks off, a project in which GMV is collaborating with Saab to develop a new maritime GNSS receiver based on the open service of Europe's Galileo satellite navigation service 

The multi-constellation, double-frequency receiver will comply with European and international legislation and use Galileo's OS-NMA authentication mechanism 

Yahsat, the UAE-based satellite operator is one of GMV’s flagship clients

The contract includes supply of both the control centre and flight dynamics system for the Thuraya 4-NGS satellite

The contract has been won on the strength of GMV’s wealth of experience in supplying systems of this type

The German Space Agency at DLR awards a contract to GMV for upgrading the German SSA Centre (GSSAC) Mission System

The main purpose of the contract is the further development of the GSSAC Mission System, contributing to EU SST data processing capabilities, in order to be prepared to meet future requirements of an advanced framework regarding performance and scalability

Launched under the umbrella of the EDIDP program, GEODE is the biggest Galileo application development project ever launched and a crucial and decisive step towards the development of the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) military User Segment

Co-financed by Belgium, Germany, Italy, France and Spain, GEODE is supported by the EU with a grant of about 44 million Euros

Within the Spanish industrial team, GMV is responsible for integration of the GNSS/PRS Receiver system, and in particular for the development of all the Receiver’s signal-processing, navigation and timing functions

GMV is selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) as one of the three main contractors of the new phase of the Galileo Second Generation ground segment

The main objectives of Galileo Second Generation are the phasing in of new services, improvement of existing services and increase of security

Galileo now provides positioning, navigation and timing services for over 400 million users around the world
