A helicopter recently flew over a very special Alpine valley to gather data on how Europe’s two satellite navigation systems – EGNOS and Galileo – will work together in future.
The helicopter flew a variety of manoeuvres, from fast loops to mid-air hovering, to see how satnav signals were received in practice. The promising results are now being analysed.
The airborne testing, which took place in Germany on 24–26 September, was based around prototype signals of the next generation of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service – EGNOS – combined with simulated Galileo signals.
