Indra awarded the remote stations of the new European GPS
The ESA selects the Spanish company for two key contracts for the development of the second generation of the Galileo system for a total amount of €52.3 million.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has awarded Spanish company Indra two key contracts worth €52.3 million to develop the second generation of the Galileo satellite navigation system. The contracts involve the design, development, and delivery of new remote stations, including sensor stations (GSS) and uplink stations (ULS). Indra will lead the projects from its offices in Barcelona and Madrid, collaborating with subcontractors such as GMV and Thales Six, and will hire 50 people in Barcelona by the end of 2027.
The new stations will be a crucial part of the Galileo system's ground infrastructure, designed to evolve over their lifespan to accommodate new services. The Galileo system currently has 28 operational satellites and will be upgraded with 12 new satellites in the second generation.
