Who's involved in EGNOS?
 
EGNOS is a project of the Tripartite Group whose members are ESA, the European Commission and Eurocontrol, the European organisation for the safety of air navigation.
 
ESA had overall responsibility for the design and development of the EGNOS system. It placed a contract with a consortium lead by Alcatel Space (now Thales Alenia Space) of France to develop the system, which has been formally delivered.
 
The European Commission was responsible for international cooperation and coordination and for making sure that the views of all modes of transport were fed into the design and implementation of EGNOS.
 
Eurocontrol defined the needs of civil aviation and is playing a major role in testing the system. In addition, several national civil aviation operators and other organisations are supporting EGNOS testing.
