SATERA


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 enabling the definition of integrity parameters for space-based ADS-B data improving the Air Traffic Security and Safety. 

SATERA aims to be a key enabler to optimize air operations, mainly for long-haul flights over oceanic or uninhabited areas, allowing the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, 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 the use of satellites and boosting the deployment of space-based ADS-B in Europe.
