Dear Sir/Madam:

Please find the first announcement of the "SX5 Workshop" attached to 
this email.

"SX5 - Scientific GNSS Service Support Based on Galileo E5 Receivers" is 
a research & development project devoted to the scientific community. We 
are investigating the benefits of the Galileo E5 broadband signal for 
precise single-frequency positioning and ionosphere monitoring. The 
project is funded by the European Union within the Seventh Framework 
Programme (FP7) under coordination of the University FAF Munich and 
participation of the AIUB (University Bern), the Royal Observatory of 
Belgium, UK's Met Office and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (Prague).

The SX5 Workshop will take place on 18 October 2011 in Munich, Germany. 
Further information can be accessed on-line via this link:

The workshop will give you the opportunity to get an overview of the SX5 
idea and the latest news regarding GNSS developments, with a focus on 
the Galileo and Compass system. Furthermore there will be an 
introduction and a demonstration of the SGSS Software Suite as well as 
the presentation of first results containing single-frequency precise 
positioning and ionosphere monitoring.

Additionally you will have the opportunity to visit the Galileo test bed 
(GATE) in Berchtesgaden as an optional social event.

Note that this workshop is free of charge (except for the voluntary GATE 
visit). Feel free to visit our website for additional information:
