SUMMARY:Galileo - The European Navigation Satellite System\, Physics D
 epartment Seminar\, Wilfried Bornemann\, EADS Astrium\, Munich Germany
DESCRIPTION:Europe is building its own global navigation satellite sys
 tem\, providing a highly accurate\, guaranteed global positing service
  under civilian control. It will be compatible and interoperable with 
 GPS. By offering dual frequencies as standard\, Galileo will deliver r
 eal-time positioning accuracy down to the meter range which is unprece
 dented for a publicly available system. It will guarantee availability
  of the service under all but the most extreme circumstances and will 
 inform users within seconds of a failure of any satellite. This makes 
 Galileo suitable for applications where safety is crucial. The present
 ation will address Galileo architecture and implementation aspects alo
 ng with technology developments and will provide an overview of the pr
 ogram status\, including anecdotes from the multi-national political p
 rocess entailed by attempting a technical undertaking of such magnitud
 e within the European Union. Dr. Wilfried Bornemann is responsible for
  Galileo Coordination at EADS Astrium in Munich\, Germany\, which is t
 he prime contractor of the Galileo space segment for the ongoing devel
 opment phase.
