 Sat-nav will become ubiquitous in mobile phones |
A German/UK consortium has been asked to supply the first operational spacecraft for Europe's Galileo satellite-navigation system.
OHB System and Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) will build 14 satellites in a contract valued at 566m euros ($811m; £510m).
The contract was announced by the European Commission in Brussels.
Galileo is intended as an EU version of the US Global Positioning System (GPS), but with significant improvements.
