Objective of the consultation
The Galileo Open Service Signal In Space Interface Control Document (OS SIS ICD) contains the publicly available information on the Galileo Signal In Space.
It is intended for use by the Galileo Open Service (OS) user community and specifies the interface between the Galileo Space Segment and the Galileo User Segment.
Issue 1 of the document was published in February 2010 and updated as revision 1 in September 2010.
A new draft version of the document, issue 1, revision 2 has been published by the European Commission (EC) on 30/06/2014.
This new version can be downloaded from this page, under section "Reference Documents".
It contains revision side bars to highlight areas of the document that have been modified.
The European Commission has decided to launch this open public consultation process in order to improve and consolidate the current draft document and to ensure that any further development of the Galileo OS SIS ICD takes into account the views of GNSS key stakeholders.
The public consultation process provides stakeholders with an opportunity to improve the quality and clarity of the document and to suggest new elements to be included in future versions, e.g. inclusion of multi-GNSS products and services.
This will contribute towards a smooth and rapid rollout of Galileo equipment and applications, and the earliest possible delivery of user benefits.
