First Galileo signals received
The pioneer spacecraft in Europe's
satellite-navigation system, Galileo,
has taken a major step towards securing
the network's allocated frequencies.
Giove-A transmitted the first of its
navigational signals to ground stations
in the UK and Belgium on Thursday.
The UK-built satellite was launched on
28 December from the Baikonur
Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
It is a demonstrator for the network
that will give Europe its own version
of the US Global Positioning System.
