Contract Award Imminent for Galileo's Next Block of Satellites

However, this report has been privately denied and in fact refuted by an EC representative. The OHB-led consortium includes small-satellite specialist Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. of Britain, which built and continues to operate the GIOVE-A satellite, Galileo’s very first launch. The competing Astrium-Thales Alenia consortium built the second Galileo satellite now in orbit, GIOVE-B.
