News: UKspace 2020 Manifesto Reiterates Need For GNSS System

pocketgpsworld.com
UKspace has released its 2020 manifesto in which it reiterates the importance of the UK having its own GPS System post-Brexit.

The manifesto says the UK must secure participation in a global satellite navigation system either via the ESA's Galileo programme or by developing its own sovereign system.

Britain quit the Galileo program in November 2018 after investing more than £1.4bn but the estimated £5bn costs of developing its own makes a sovereign system unlikely. UKspace is calling for increased ESA funding saying "European Space Agency (ESA) funding is fundamental to ensuring that industry can develop and manufacture the space technologies, capability and supply chains needed to secure the United Kingdom’s role in the global space market".
