Galileo vs GPS in the International Archives.

<P> AP local time at 3:00 on the 28th, the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan will launch the European "Galileo" satellite navigation system's first experimental satellite, with a total investment of about 41 billion dollars in Europe "gamma .Galileo "satellite navigation program the first step. .</ P> <P> According to the British "Guardian" reported on 27, 这颗 called "GIOVE-A" of the experimental satellite, weighing 600 kilograms, will be Russia's "Union" launch vehicle. .It will place 23,000 km away from the ground from the launch vehicle, two weeks around the Earth each day, the speed of communication frequency and number of signal testing. .</ P> <P> "GIOVE-A" launch is the "Galileo" satellite positioning system satellite launch all 30 of the first step in preparation is a crucial step. .Because the "Galileo" positioning system testing using the communication frequency of the final period of next July, if the experimental satellite will orbit also failed to meet the International Telecommunication Union to send a signal standard, the European Space Agency no longer has this .the right to use communications frequencies, with a total investment of about 41 billion dollars in "Galileo" program will be forced to reinvent the wheel. .To avoid accidents, the European Space Agency has prepared a more technologically advanced back-experimental satellite. .Once the "GIOVE-A" failed to launch, the satellite will enable Save the "Galileo" program. .</ P> <P> "GIOVE-A", if successfully launched, "Galileo" program will officially enter the deployment phase. .If all goes well, "Galileo" satellite positioning system in all 30 official satellite in 2006 to 2010 batches off, evenly distributed in three orbits, and in 2008 launched the first satellite positioning services. .</ P> <P> "Guardian" commented that, "GIOVE-A" of the mark in Europe and the United States launched the space race between the official start. .Europe will break the U.S. GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite navigation in the field of "unified country" situation, into the "space technology independence." .</ P> <P> International Archives </ P> <P> cell phone signals can be identified in less than 1 meter </ P> <P> accurate than GPS times </ P> <P> Cold War, the United States, .Russia's fierce competition for the right to compete for space, the United States after the advent of GPS, followed by Russia's Glonass. .However, the chronic shortage of funds Glonass, not fully operational, the U.S. GPS "unified country" in the civil war in several areas and shine. .</ P> <P> but mainly for military use GPS, the U.S. military are often arbitrarily cut off the signal and safety reasons, so dependent on the U.S. national dissatisfaction with the technology in Europe, then started research and development, "Galileo." ."Galileo" is compatible with GPS and Glonass, but came out on top. .GPS positioning accuracy than ten times, cell phone signal can be identified in less than 1 meter, stronger anti-interference ability, and more commercial. .British "The Independent" that it would in fisheries, agriculture, communications and other civilian areas to obtain a huge market in Europe alone could create about 140,000 jobs. .By 2013, the plan for the relevant industry profits could reach 243.2 billion U.S. dollars. .</ P> <P> the face of aggressive, "Galileo," the U.S. is very upset, began working the next generation of GPS systems, but this "upgrade project" ten years to complete, probably too late with the "Galileo" .counter. .</ P> <P> frequently the process of cooperation in the EU pressure </ P> <P> the United States had threatened to destroy the "Galileo" </ P> <P> July 28 this year, China and the EU " .Galileo "program signed three copies of application of the project contract, became the first to join" Galileo "program of the non-EU countries, with partial ownership of the system and all right to use. .</ P> <P> the implementation of the EU work together, "Galileo" program in the process, the United States has frequently pressure. .In fact, the United States from the beginning of the "Galileo" program is very tight, all kinds of reasons to stop "Galileo" system set up and co-operation between the EU and other countries. .Representatives in the European Union announced that even though the "Galileo" is used in the U.S. in the war, will not shut down or interfere with the signal, and even the U.S. representative threatened that if necessary, will destroy the U.S. government, "Galileo." .</ P> <P> why the United States so nervous? .Four reasons: </ P> <P> 1. Satellite navigation with large monopoly profits. .If the integration of the European Union, Russia, China, India and other technical and financial resources, "Galileo" system successfully completed, will make the U.S. GPS market share fell 50%. .EU under pressure in the United States still insist on promoting China's "Galileo" is also intended to seek China's huge market and high investment. .</ P> <P> 2. Desire to lead the space order. .The United States starting from the Cold War mentality, conclude the development of China-EU cooperation, "Galileo" will counter U.S. space hegemony. .</ P> <P> 3. To maintain the US-led international order and military hegemony, suspected, "Galileo" program will help China improve the missile hit the level of precision and smart weapons. .</ P> <P> 4. The United States want to see the development of China-EU strategic partnership. .As China and the EU in the global multi-polarization, multilateralism, democratization of international relations, has a similar view, so the development of China-EU strategic partnership may constitute U.S. unilateralism and hegemony of the potential constraints. .</ P> <P> under a more exciting: scientific and technological achievements in 2005 [best version] </ P> <P> most mysterious of the strangest, most incredible of all in Discovery </ P> <P> < ./ P> </ p>.
