WG-62/Galileo is tasked to act as a forum to foster the earliest introduction of GALILEO based services for aviation, but it is also a venue to share technical concerns between aviation SBAS users and service providers.
GALILEO, future European navigation satellite system including ground, space and airborne elements, was expected to be integrated (with GPS) in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) by 2008. WG-62 is preparing recommendations on the operational use of GNSS, airborne GPS/Galileo/SBAS receiver equipment (MOPS), precision approach to Cat I, II, IIIB for a combined Galileo/GPS system (MOPS), and the use of SBAS L5 signal in space (ICD). A revision of the Terms of Reference of WG-62 is on-going.
WG-62 works in coordination with RTCA SC-159 Global Positioning System.
Chairperson: Pierre Bouniol, THALES AVIONICS
Secretary: Pierre Durel, GSA

10 – « NetSat » Day, satcom technical workshop on network and access
Thursday 30 June – 8:50 >> 18:20 – Room Ariane 1 (Level 1)
The aim of this day is to provide an opportunity for discussion and exchanges about satellite « high layer » technical topics, based on the presentation of a selection of current works.
In telecommunications networks as a whole, satellite telecommunications have been largely marginalised to commercially profitable TV broadcasting applications. The interactive services represent open issues on their integration in terrestrial networks. This meeting will focus on all networking technologies that can facilitate the integration of satellites in the constantly changing telecommunications environment and increase the overall performance of satcom systems.

Thursday 30 June – 8:30 >> 17:30 – Room Daurat (Level 3)
Organized by GUIDE GNSS
The Jupiter project will offer a one-day training session tailored for ITS application developers. The training will provide an overview on the most relevant aspects of European GNSS – EGNSS technology. The focus will be on the new European satellite navigation system Galileo, on the EGNOS augmentation system and on the impact of satellite navigation technology on the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) domain including its evolution.
The Jupiter training sessions will be provided by GNSS experts from some of the most relevant competence centres on GNSS technology in Europe: Istituto Superiore Mario Boella (Italy), GNSS Usage Innovation and Development of Excellence (France), Thales Alenia Space France (France). All the experts have a strong background both from the scientific and industrial point of view and will explain how GNSS and EGNSS technologies will improve the way ITS developers create and manage ITS applications.
Main topics:
- European GNSS – EGNSS principles
- Characterisation of EGNSS performance in relation to application requirements
- Exploitation of Galileo, EGNOS and EDAS for road applications
- Successful projects and case studies
JUPITER project is funded by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 R&D programme.
JUPITER aims to promote the European GNSS satellite navigation technology – EGNSS, in particular in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems. The project will present EGNSS applications able to highlight EGNSS added value and advantages at several events with international relevance, above all the 2015 ITS World Congress in Bordeaux, France and the 2016 ITS World Congress in Melbourne, Australia.

15 – Conférence Polar Pod par Jean-Louis Etienne
Thursday 30 June – 11:00 >> 12:00 – Room Cassiopée (Level 1)
Polar Pod est un projet porté par le célèbre explorateur français Jean-Louis Etienne. L’objectif est d’effectuer un tour du monde dans l’océan le plus inhospitalier de la planète, l’océan Austral. Pour ceci JL. Etienne et son équipe se sont inspirés de la plate forme de la Navy, le FLIP, pour proposer un navire vertical, dont la stabilité est assurée par des lests plongés dans les masses d’eau profondes. D’une hauteur totale de 120m, dont 20 au dessus de la surface, le Polar Pod disposera des outils de mesures les plus performants. La dérive complète autour du continent Antarctique est prévue pour durer de 2 à 3 ans durant lesquels des scientifiques vont se relayer à bord. Ils effectueront un ensemble inédit de mesures en toutes saisons qui permettront de caractériser cette région extrêmement riche en biodiversité et principal puits de carbone de la planète. Le Polar Pod est une plateforme scientifique énergétiquement autonome, zéro émission, conçue pour être stable face aux courants et pour dériver sans propulsion externe.
PolarPod se veut une aventure humaine, scientifique et technologique hors‐norme, digne de Jules Verne, pour l’exploration de l’immense océan Austral qui représente l’une des dernières frontières de la planète !
Le CNES a suivi Jean Louis Etienne lors de ses précédents défis : en été 2002 pour la mission Banquise lorsqu’il dérive en solitaire sur la banquise de l’océan glacial arctique à bord du Polar Observer, puis de nouveau en avril 2010 pour l’expédition Arctic observer lorsqu’il effectue le survol en ballon de l’océan arctique. Le CNES s’intéresse aujourd’hui au nouveau défi de JLE pour, en particulier, la collecte de mesures in situ dans l’immensité de l’océan austral. Ces mesures, vérités terrains indispensables à toutes observations satellites, permettront la validation des estimations des courants, de la couleur de l’eau, des vents, de la hauteur des vagues et de la salinité… Elles seront ainsi un complément tout particulier au programme CNES CFOSAT (coopération Franco-Chinoise) dédié à la mesure des vagues et du vent, le satellite devant être lancé en 2018 comme le PolarPod. Elles seront également un élément de préparation du programme SWOT (coopération France USA) dédié à la mesure haute résolution de la circulation océanique. Toutes ces mesures sont attendues par la communauté scientifique mais aussi par les agences travaillant sur la sécurité en mer et le routage des navires. De plus, Jean louis Etienne qui s’est toujours beaucoup investi auprès du public et des scolaires, envisage pour cette nouvelle aventure, un projet pédagogique international.

17 – Réunion des membres de la communauté des villes Ariane
Wednesday 29 June –16:30 >> 18:30– Room Argos (Level 1)
By invitation.
18 – Exhibition on
1986-2016 Earth Observation:
30 years of innovations
From 28 to 30 June – Room Concorde (Level -0.5)
After thirty years, the launch of the Spot 1 satellite by Ariane, on the 22nd of February 1986, is still considered as the first step of the French industrial and commercial success into the Earth Observation domain. France now occupies a leading position at a worldwide level. The successors or followers of Spot 1 are many at French and European levels: Spot 2 to Spot 5 of course, but also Hélios, ERS, Envisat, Metop, Pléiades and Sentinel 2. Next to come are CSO and THR-NG, the latter aiming at a 25 centimeters resolution.
To celebrate this anniversary, CNES with the support of the main French industrial actors of this story proposes the exhibition "1986-2016 Observation of the Earth: 30 years of innovations".
This is an invitation to travel through the magnificent images of our planet delivered every day by the observation satellites . A journey back in the past, through the glances by the eyes of these satellites on some historical milestones of these last 30 years.
These views are getting more and more precise and the exhibition also emphasizes the technological jumps performed in terms of image quality, resolution and capacity of acquisition. Finally, this journey shows spectacular evolutions of some landscapes, reminding us, if needed, that our planet is a fragile treasure.
On this occasion, a randomly generated digital painting based on space imagery has been created by the artist Charles Giulioli and will be also presented at the Toulouse Space Show.
