The colloquium that will be held from 1st to 4th of October, in Toulouse, France, to bring together the European scientific community and international associates. It is the first colloquium about the fundamental aspects and application of Galileo Programme.
The event is organises by ESA (European Space Agency), and has the purpose to review the various possibilities to use navigation satellites such as Galileo for scientific purposes, and to investigate how these scientific requirements can contribute to make the most of the present systems, and define their future evolutions.
The colloquium will address three major issues:
• The fundamental aspects of navigation by satellites and Galileo;
• Scientific applications in meteorology, geodesy, geophysics, space physics, oceanography, land surface and ecosystem studies, using either direct or reflected signals, differential measurements, phase measurements, occultation measurements, using receivers placed on the ground, in airplanes or in scientific satellites;
• Scientific developments in physics and dealing with future systems, particularly in testing fundamental laws, in astronomy, in quantum communication, and in developing clocks or experiments based on GNSS.
