Tras el retraso de ayer debido a una avería en el Soyuz, hoy han despegado desde la Guayana francesa los dos primeros satélites de la red europea Galileo, que serán la alternativa al GPS americano. Se enviarán dos satélites cada tres meses, hasta completar los 30 que constituyen el sistema. El Galileo es un sistema 100% civil, lo que supondrá una ventaja frente al GPS, ya que en este último, el ejército norteamericano tiene prioridad de uso frente al uso civil.
En nuestros dispositivos más modernos, podremos utilizar las señales de los dos sistemas simultáneamente, lo que conseguirá una precisión mucho más grande. (Foto:ESA)
