Galileo Finds Funds

摘要

The European Commission (EC) announced September 19 that it proposes to use €2.4 billion ($3.3 billion) of public funds to sustain the beleaguered Galileo satellite navigation program.rnIn a statement from Brussels, the EC called Galileo "a strategic program that is vital for the independence of Europe and full of promising applications. Galileo and EGNOS should be regarded as an essential investment that will enable Europe to emerge in this area and retain a large share of the satellite radio-navigation market."
