The European ARTEMIS Satellite Navigation Payload: Enhancing EGNOS AOC Performance

Stefano Badessi, Carlos F. Garriga and Javier Ventura, Jean-Marc Pieplu

Abstract:	The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS) is being developed in Europe to provide GPS and GLONASS regional augmentation services to aviation, maritime and land users. EGNOS is planned to deploy its Advanced Operational Capability (AOC) using two of the INMARSAT-III navigation transponders (AOR-E and IOR). Aiming at providing sole means operational capability, additional GEO satellites need to be placed and an adequate replacement policy needs to be defined. The European Space Agency has taken a first step in this direction by implementing a Navigation Payload on board ESA’s ARTEMIS satellite. This paper introduces the ARTEMIS Navigation Payload and discusses, from a system performance perspective, its introduction on the EGNOS baseline.
