  • GEMOP: Galileo and EGNOS Monitoring Of Performances by Member States

    The GEMOP project monitors the performance of the Galileo and EGNOS positioning systems. The project is funded by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), and there are 26 research institutes involved in the consortium. Finnish Geospatial Research Institute provides satellite positioning data from Finland and computes performance indicators related to the Galileo satellite availability and positioning accuracy in ranging domain.

  • KaRef

    In Finland, there are free nationwide reference systems, EUREF-FIN coordinate system, N2000 height system and FOGN gravity system. On top of these there is a national geoid model FIN2005N00 that is a transformation surface between EUREF-FIN and N2000 heights. In this project, we research some aspects that support decision making when future reference systems are to be created.
