SES to extend EGNOS GEO 1 payload service for precise navigation over Europe through 2030by Robert SchreiberBerlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 30, 2026SES and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme have extended the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service GEO 1 satellite service agreement through 2030, with an option to prolong it further to 2032. The renewed contract is intended to maintain high precision navigation services for aviation and other critical users across Europe by keeping the EGNOS space segment in service over the coming years. EGNOS is Europes regional satellite based augmentation system that improves the accuracy and reliability of Global Navigation Satellite System signals such as GPS over the European region. Under the extended GEO 1 agreement, SES will continue to operate the EGNOS hosted payload on its SES 5 satellite and manage the associated ground segment from its facilities in Europe. The extended EGNOS GEO 1 arrangement is positioned as part of this long term strategy to deliver resilient services for critical infrastructures across Europe.
