News: Europe's SatNav Service To Be Protected From Solar Storms

After recent headlines have been dominated by news of solar storms and potential disruption to GPS navigational systems, Europe's satnav system is getting the benefit of additional protection.

According to reports, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) will undergo improvements to make it more robust and resilient, protecting it from the effects of solar storms.

Solar storms affect the upper layers of the atmosphere (ionosphere) which are electrically active and can cause 'scintillations' in the signals transmitted by EGNOS, leading to time delay problems.

As EGNOS is responsible for using satellites to improve the accuracy of GPS signals and is considered one of the cornerstones of Europe's navigational programme it is vital that actions are taken to prevent this.
