Acknowledgements

SATERA addresses the concept of a space-based composite ADS-B + E-MLAT system using ADS-B and MLAT receiving stations on board small satellites on low Earth orbits.

 


SATERA Aims

SATERA aims to design and validate a GNSS-independent ATC surveillance system that enables the definition of integrity parameters for space-based ADS-B data and improves air traffic security and safety.

SATERA aims to be a key enabler in optimizing air operations, mainly for long-haul flights over oceanic or uninhabited areas, allowing the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the increase of airspace capacity, safety, and security.

SATERA aims to enhance European airspace sovereignty by fostering the provision of critical ATM services by European companies, enhancing the European industrial leadership on the ATC by using satellites and boosting the deployment of space-based ADS-B in Europe.
