| | Galileo legal process ticks over
Giove-B flies at the end of the month
The next and vital step has been taken by Europe in its quest to set up the Galileo satellite-navigation system.
EU transport ministers have approved the so-called Galileo Implementation Regulation.
This is the legal instrument that releases the 3.4bn euros agreed by finance ministers in 2007 to fund construction of the space-based system.
It means contracts can soon be awarded to establish ground stations, to build spacecraft, and provide launchers.
Competition for those contracts should be closed by December, initiating work that ensures Galileo is up and running by the end of 2013. | World's cheapest car goes on show

This design enables the car to perform at a superb level, particularly in cornering, with the car easily pulling 1.7 g’s in corners during track testing on street tires. The three-wheeled automotive platform also aid in improving fuel efficiency and aerodynamics.
