Slide__Ylxm4KOdEd-WfYQ0GneCwQ_subTitle=EGNOS is the European contribution to the first phase of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS-1). It is intended to <i>guarantee</i> for the first time positioning standards agreed upon. This includes a message within six seconds about emerging problems. <p></p> <p>The guaranteed reliability is an essential precondition of broadest civil use of satellite navigation, even in sensitive areas like landing aircraft.</p> <p>EGNOS receives, evaluates and corrects the signals of both military systemes, GPS (USA) and GLONASS (Russia), and sends them out in a GPS compatible form via three geostationary satellites. Positioning becomes correct to within two metres horizontally and five metres vertically.</p> <p>Together with the deployment planned for 2005 of the first satellites of the non-military European Galileo system, both accuracy and reliability of EGNOS become further increased step by step.</p>
