"The GALILEO navigation system is a satellite system which should become an alternative to the GPS system of the US or Russia’s GLONASS system. In contrast to GALILEO, both of the competing systems are funded by the military of these countries. GALILEO should be operational from 2014. It has many advantages, including full civilian funding, for example, and full compatibility with the US and Russian systems. The first two satellites were launched last week, and we were able to follow this opening event live at an exhibition in the European Parliament building in Brussels. Unfortunately, this event was not free of complications either, and had to be postponed. The EU first began talks on the introduction of this system in 1999. There are now voices doubting that we will be able to make the planned date in 2014 for having the system operational (though only in trial operation). I personally live in the firm hope that the European Space Agency will be capable of launching the planned 18 satellites needed to bring the system into trial operation. We all know that the EU lags behind its US partners in areas such as research and development, and the successful introduction of a system such as GALILEO may reduce the lead enjoyed by the competition."@en1
