The contract includes supply of the control center and flight dynamics system, a new ground station in Río de Janeiro for the Amazonas Nexus satellite, a new satellite tracking system and sundry ground equipment, plus a new control and management system for all Hispasat’s ground stations

The deal clincher was GMV’s wealth of experience in systems of this type

Hispasat, a Spanish satellite operator, is one of GMV’s flagship clients, now running GMV systems in its whole fleet of satellites

The demonstrations will be part of FirEUrisk, a 4-year, 10-million-euro, Horizon 2020 project of the European Commission

The five regions chosen for these demos are in Portugal, Spain, Greece, Central Europe (Germany-Poland-Czech Republic) and Sweden

The project targets the prevention and reduction of wildfires and adaptation of management strategies to reduce their irreversible effects: human casualties, economic, natural and cultural heritage loss

Asgard kicks off, a project in which GMV is collaborating with Saab to develop a new maritime GNSS receiver based on the open service of Europe's Galileo satellite navigation service 

The multi-constellation, double-frequency receiver will comply with European and international legislation and use Galileo's OS-NMA authentication mechanism
