Satellite Navigation
Originally conceived to support military
applications, satellite navigation has had a major impact on our
daily lives and the way we do business across the globe.
VEGA has been involved in the design and development of Europe’s
global navigation satellite system since the very early system
studies in 1997.
We are working in many areas of the Galileo development
including operations engineering, project support and simulations
development. VEGA is also closely involved with supporting the
GIOVE-A mission, the first test satellite to be launched. Our
satellite navigation engineers are currently based in Rome,
Toulouse and ESTEC, providing consultancy to the Galileo programme,
along with significant development projects currently ongoing both
at Welwyn Garden City and Darmstadt.
Whilst we continue to play an active role in the implementation
of Galileo, our attention is now also firmly on supporting the
development of applications in markets such as aviation, transport
and logistics. We are shareholders in the Centre for Satellite
Navigation in Hessen (CESAH) and are participating in a
number of R&D programmes, aimed at stimulating new service and
product development.
