The space segment using geo satellites provides redundant data transmission channel to broadcast toward egnos user messages containing differential corrections with the associated integrity information. The payload data segment pds which is responsible for the exploitation of the instrument data.

This design is focused in supporting the operations of an undefined generic earth observation satellite with a minimal set of functionalities on a minimal deployment of capabilities. The ground segment can be split into two major elements. The ground segment consists of gateways where data is downlinked from satellites the moniker of ground segment notwithstanding sometimes these gateways can be located in space as well as processing and distribution facilities to put the raw data in the appropriate form and location for users. A ground segment consists of all the ground based elements of a spacecraft system used by operators and support personnel as opposed to the space segment and user segment.
