Galileo is a European project set up by the European Commission and the European Space Agency and has 30 in total--stronger signals and a range of commercial services for different needs.
as diverse as academia, security, surveying and government will meet at the UK's National Physical Laboratory in south-west London to discuss the social implications of Galileo once it goes live in 2008.
Having 30 additional satellites in orbit will reduce the number of areas without a signal. And its more powerful signals mean it will sometimes be possible to keep track of offenders while they are indoors..
Two things I want to know
How is it going to be in the future when galileo comes out in 2008?
What will the advantages and disadvantage of this system coming out?
Things I found interesting
That know we have a rival over g.p.s information towards europe.

Things I know
Each site is responsible for tracking thousands of known man-made deep-space objects in orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 10,000 to 45,000 kilometers.
Space is the ultimate high ground, giving us the ability to communicate over long distances and determine exact locations through the Global Positioning System.
These telescopes are able to see objects 10,000 times dimmer than the human eye can detect.
Two things I want to know
Who agreed on buliding this system?
Are we going to have a space police?
Things I found interesting
The Deep STARE system is able to track multiple satellites in the field of view.

Things I know
Cassini spacecraft came within 1,027 kilometers (638 miles) of the moon's surface and found that the outer layer of the thick, hazy atmosphere is brimming with complex hydrocarbons,
Hydrocarbons containing as many as seven carbon atoms were observed, as well as nitrogen-containing hydrocarbons (nitriles). Titan's atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen, followed by methane, the simplest hydrocarbon.
Atmospheres of planets and their satellites in the outer solar system, while containing methane and molecular nitrogen, are largely devoid of oxygen.
Two things I want to know
Who wanted to know about this planet?
And who funded the money to do this research?
Things I found interesting
The nitrogen and methane are expected to form complex hydrocarbons in a process induced by sunlight or energetic particles from Saturn's magnetosphere.
