Secret tech will have to be shipped to the US for launch thanks to delays
This puts ESA in somewhat of a tricky situation. The absence of a domestic launch capability is placing significant pressure on the agency, resulting in the decision to tentatively book a pair of Falcon 9 launches for the highly sensitive satellites.
Galileo is Europe's alternative to systems such as the US Global Positioning System and includes a secure signal for military use – one which the UK isIf we plan to live on the Moon, it's going to need a time zone Four satellites are planned to be launched provisionally in April and July 2024, and the contract is worth €180 million . However, the European Commission must decide whether the sensitive technology can be transported to the US for launch aboard a US rocket. Not doing so, however, means it runs the risk of further delaying the deployment of spares to the constellation.
It is a bit embarrassing for the Europeans, who would very much prefer their payloads to be launched on European rockets. However, a combination of unavailability and pressing national and scientific needs means that paying Musk's rocketeers for a ride is the least bad option on offer.
