European GNSS Agency (GSA)

Formerly known as the European GNSS Supervisory Authority, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) was established as a Community Agency on 12 July 2004.

The Agency's strategic objectives include the achievement of a fully operational GALILEO system. This includes the laying of foundations for a fully sustainable and economically viable system and its security.

Moreover, the Agency's key stated objective is to make GALILEO not just a functioning system but also the world's leading satellite navigation system for civilian applications.
