Abstract

In October, 2016 China Great Wall Industry Corporation and Spacestar Technology Company Ltd of China entered into cooperative agreement with Nigerian Communications Satellite Ltd on a Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) performance test and assessment of the Nigerian Communications Satellite (NIGCOMSAT-1R) augmentation System exploiting NIGCOMSAT-1R L Band. This paper examines test bed experimentation conducted in conjunction with partners to validate functional requirements, performance validation of units, sub-systems and systems of both the SBAS payload and ground infrastructure before a pilot project demonstration of capabilities and proof-of-concept nationwide and extension to parts and regions of Africa.
