Brain of EU Galileo Was Shipped

Europe’s answer to the USA’s Global Positioning System (GPS) hit a major milestone yesterday:

First EU Navigation Satellite Payload Shipped

RedOrbit – April 26, 2010

The Galileo satellite-navigation system – Europe’s answer to the GPS – took a giant step forward on Monday, as the initial spacecraft’s payload was shipped to Rome from the Portsmouth, UK factory where it was developed, according to BBC News science correspondent Jonathan Amos.

Galileo…is co-sponsored by the European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA). It was initially launched in November 2007 and should be operational by 2013 or 2014. http://www.redorbit.com/news/space/1855166/first_eu_navigation_satellite_payload_shipped/

Galileo is expected to be more accurate than the USA’s GPS navigational system. Furthermore, because of satellite problems, budget, and other issues and priorities, it looks like the USA itself expects to be at least partially dependent on Galileo in a few short years for some of its strategic defense.

Notice also the following items:

The Air Force, which operates GPS satellites, plays down the likelihood of degraded GPS service, but other GPS experts say the possibility is real…The first GPS III is to be launched in 2014, according to Lockheed. But in light of the delays that plagued the IIF and most other satellite programs, the GPS III schedule may be unrealistic, the GAO warned….There were other troubles, too, according to the GAO. They included “a loss of expertise in building the GPS satellites on the contractor side, lax program oversight and technical problems.” As a result, the first IIF is 3½ years late and IIF program costs more than doubled, climbing from $729 million to $1.7 billion. http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=4547785&c=FEA&s=TEC

The U.S. Defense Department is linking its Global Positioning System with Europe’s Galileo, another space-based global navigation satellite system. GPS will feature a new military signal called M-code to boost anti-jamming, facilitate secure access and increase the local signal strength. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0411054720100205

BBC Jan 7, 2010… Galileo should have been operational by now but the project has run into myriad technical, commercial and political obstacles, including early objections from the Americans who thought a rival system to GPS might be used to attack its armed forces. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8442090.stm

The USA initially opposed Galileo as it considered that the Europeans would have the ability to attack the USA because of it. Yet, now with the perceived threats of Russia and China, the USA has embraced Galileo while hoping that the Europeans will not do what various USA officials once feared.

However, according to biblical prophecy, the USA should have heeded the advice of those who warned against Galileo as Galileo will likely be one of the military tools of the emerging European beast power (Revelation 13:3-4). This is also something I warned about in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect.
