Re: Galileo - the state of the art EU satellite...
What's the betting they will come knocking on the door of the most experienced experts who can fix it...Britain! What's that? oh, isn't that the insignificant little country that the EU excluded from the Galileo project because of Brexit? DOH!21-07-2019, 07:40 PM

PRS is a special navigation and timing signal intended for use by government agencies, the armed forces and emergency responders. Expected to come online in 2020, it is designed to be available and robust even in times of crisis.
Brussels says London cannot immediately have access to PRS when the UK leaves the European bloc because it will become a foreign entity. London says PRS is vital to its military and security interests and warns that if it cannot use and work on the signal then it will walk away from Galileo in its entirety.

Few people doubt Britain is capable of developing its own satellite-navigation system. But the task would not be straight-forward. Here are just four issues that will need to be addressed before ministers can sign off on such a major project:
Britain has a vibrant space sector. It has many of the necessary skills and technologies to build its own sat-nav system, but it does not have them all. Many of the components for Galileo satellites, for example, have single suppliers in Europe. If Britain cannot develop domestic supply chains for the parts it needs, there may be no alternative but to bring them in from the continent. Spending the project's budget in the EU-27 may not be politically acceptable given the state of current relations on Galileo.

UK ministers are setting aside £92m to study the feasibility of building a sovereign satellite-navigation system.
The new network would be an alternative to the Europe Union's Galileo project, in which Britain looks set to lose key roles as a result of Brexit.
The UK Space Agency will lead the technical assessment.
Officials will engage British industry to spec a potential design, its engineering requirements, schedule and likely cost.

Galileo IS British........
The EU , as usual, is hanging on The UK's coat tails.
It is a tactic of the EU to remove the expertise or assets of the UK in any given field and purloin it for it's own ends.
It's done it with the Fishing Industry, it's tried to do it with Financial Services, It wants to do it with our Armed Forces it's doing it with our Space and Aerospace expertise.
It also did it in areas such as technical and safety standards.
It did it in Bio-sciences.
The EU is a leech, an asset stripper. It has nothing constructive of it's own to offer it just takes, takes, takes and centralises power in undemocratic , unaccountable institutions.

Re: Galileo - the state of the art EU satellite...
The purpose of Galileo is to remove the dependency on the USA for defence, intelligence and surveilance (with us Brits, the Ozzies and New Zealanders).It means the EU moves to becoming an independent "superstate" that can take on the world on its own using resources from within the 28 (soon to be 27).
The irony is that their navigation is now being provided by the USA, UK, New Zealand and Australia because Galileo doesn't work anymore and is a complete joke.
Try not to laugh.
