The European Space Agency (ESA) marked 30 years of European satellite navigation with a grand celebration at its research and technology centre, honoring key contributors who have shaped the journey of systems like Galileo and EGNOS which have positioned Europe as a global leader in satellite navigation. Among the honorees was Rohde & Schwarz, recognized for the excellence, commitment and long-standing partnership leading to the success of European satellite navigation programmes over the past three decades.
The event brought together institutional and industrial partners, ESA Member State representatives, and leading figures in satellite navigation. The celebration revisited pivotal milestones in Europe’s satellite navigation history and looked ahead to future innovations. A highlight of the evening was the award ceremony led by ESA Director of Navigation Javier Benedicto, who, alongside past directors, presented accolades to organizations and partners instrumental in this success story.
Rohde & Schwarz’s recognition underscores their role in advancing European satellite navigation technology. Their contributions have been vital in the development and operational success of Galileo and EGNOS, systems that have revolutionized positioning, navigation, and timing services across Europe and beyond.
The event not only celebrated past achievements but also set the stage for the future of European satellite navigation, with discussions around upcoming initiatives and advancements. For Rohde & Schwarz and other honourees, the evening served as both a celebration of past achievements and a call to continue building a connected, resilient, and sustainable future in space.
Rob Short, Director Business Development at Rohde & Schwarz comments: "Thirty years of satellite navigation is a testament to shared vision, determination to push technology boundaries, and intense, long-term collaboration. We are honoured to have contributed to this remarkable achievement. Congratulations to everyone who made this milestone possible."
