The EGNOS space segment is composed by three geostationary satellites centred over Europe:
- Inmarsat-3 AOR-E (Atlantic Ocean Region East) stationed at 15.5° W.
- Inmarsat-3 IOR-W (Indian Ocean Region West) stationed at 25.0°E.
- ESA-Artemis stationed at 21.5° E.
The main criteria followed in the selection of the satellites positions have been:
- Improve the measurement geometry and hence the system availability.
- Maximise the visibility angle diversity and hence minimise the risk of signal blocking.
- Provide dual geostationary coverage (minimum) within the core service area.
