This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product Inmarsat communication satellite. Computer illustration of an Inmarsat communication and navigation satellite in Earth orbit. Inmarsat satellites are used to relay signals from mobile telephones. They also form part of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS). EGNOS complements the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites by producing transmissions which ground-based receivers can use to calculate their position.
