Open call under the EUSPA Fundamental Elements scheme

Fundamental Elements, led by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), is an EU R&D funding initiative designed to accelerate the development of advanced EGNSS-enabled chipsets, receivers and antennas, vital components for positioning, navigation and timing technologies across space and terrestrial domains.

One call is now open for submission, inviting innovators and organisations to contribute to Europe’s next generation of GNSS receiver technologies.

Galileo HAS-enabled Space Receiver

This call seeks proposals to develop a high-performance GNSS receiver for space applications, specifically targeting LEO satellites (50–500 kg) and other space use cases. The objective is to integrate the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS), which delivers real-time decimetre-level accuracy, into space receivers with Precise Point Positioning (PPP) capability.

  • Focus: Space GNSS receivers leveraging Galileo HAS
  • TRL: Technology development for space deployment
  • Budget: Up to €2 million in total (with funding for up to two projects)
  • Maximum EU co-financing rate of eligible costs: 70%
  • Impact: Enable cutting-edge positioning accuracy for satellites and space systems

The deadline for proposals is the 13th of March 2026.

This call represents a key opportunity for the EU space industry to innovate and help drive wider adoption of European GNSS technologies, supporting competitiveness and addressing user needs in strategic market segments.
