Japan's QZSS to integrate with Galileo

[Darren]

Talks have begin between Japan and the ESA with a view to integrating Japan's three satellite Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) with the Galileo network.

The objective is to have an integration plan in place before the end of 2016 and complete integration within three years.

Japan's QZSS is a regional navigation service and differs in that is uses geosynchronous orbits rather than the more common geostationary orbit of Galileo. QZSS has a one centimetre accuracy but is only useful in and around Japan itself.
