Galileo: Europe shows the way
Length: 9’50”
Subject: The deployment phase for GALILEO, the European programme
of civil radio-navigation by satellite is imminent. It will begin
in 2006. GALILEO is compatible and interoperable with the American
GPS, but will furnish a more precise, continuous and guaranteed
signal. It will allow a multitude of applications for the general
public and professionals on a worldwide scale as from it becoming
operational in 2008. The recently operational EGNOS system is the
precursor of GALILEO. The economic benefits expected from GALILEO
are staggering and explain the commercial attraction of the
programme and the commitment of the private sector. Precision,
reliability, the multiple applications of GALILEO and its global
coverage explain why many third countries wish to participate in
the programme.
