Security implications of the European space program is for the European Galileo project
and military satellites and navigation systems for civil options, which the United States and Russia to develop and control. By the European Space Agency and the European Commission in Brussels by Galileo Joint mission to provide capital and management, the system planned by the formation of a constellation of 30 satellites. Galileo will offer five kinds of services:
mm open service, similar to the standard civil GPS signal;
mm business services to provide additional information such as the enhanced positioning accuracy.
mm safety services, including the integrity of the signal, it is essential that all applications, understand (with confidence) the integrity of the application navigation system is very important.
mm of public management, specialized applications for government control of encryption services;
mm search and rescue services, through sea, air and ground relay 406Mhz distress beacon distress signal.
mm Galileo strategic system is designed to provide users with greater accuracy, coverage (95% of the world's cities and villages, GPS system currently covers only 50% of the world), it also received from international funding partners. These partners expect from their benefit a wide range of services open and encrypted mm mm for business services, police, air traffic control, navigation and search and rescue.
after 5 years of painful debate, the United States ultimately did not oppose the Galileo program. the United States the main reasons for the objection is not only worried about Galileo's ability to provide the same business but it could provide the information is not under the control of the U.S. military, which is not the same GPS program. In June 2004 the dispute is resolved (at least now), the two sides reached a Galileo project coordination agreement with the GPS, Galileo signal stability than the original plan of the low. tendency of many industry a possible option is to develop GPS3 / Galileo slightly two terminals, location-based services to take advantage of the joint availability, accuracy and enhance the integrity of the.
Galileo project is now nearing completion. in-orbit validation phase started in December 5, 2005, from Kazakhstan Stan's Bai Nuer SOYUZ rocket launch site launched with its first demonstration satellite (GIOVE-A), and signed the contract in January 2006 began the construction of the first four operational satellites. The satellite is scheduled for launch in 2008, will fully demonstrate the system architecture. However, there are many obstacles to be overcome. In addition to the U.S. and its NATO representative of the issues raised, the Galileo project as key players in several European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK) between the right system of industrial and political benefits, including the location of surface facilities, activities and data sharing issues be delayed dispute. In addition, the United Kingdom and the United States remains concerned that it would endanger the 57.16 KB)

GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) concept was originally just wanted to monitor environmental change, has now been expanded to include secure content specific Therefore, the common external and security policy in the ESDP under the protection of its contribution. GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) to all the European Earth Observation related activities together, and more efficient use of European assets to form system set to support conflict prevention and crisis management, and help the verification of international arms control and the implementation of environmental agreements.
GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) of the space part of the concept of relying on five space missions or European Space Agency Member States, EUMETSAT (EUMETSAT), Canada and other third parties to access additional tasks. It will accelerate the implementation of first satellite (GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) -1) for rapid deployment, the C-band InSAR mission (sentinel-1 satellite) and LANDsat satellite data to provide uninterrupted. sentinel -4 and 5 satellite will be located in geosynchronous orbit and low Earth orbit, the main chemical used in climate monitoring tasks.
The system consists of GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) Advisory Board and the GMES ( Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) project office administration, is currently in the early stages of development, will use existing national and multinational satellite and increased by the European Space Agency and the EU co-financing the construction of the new satellite. GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security ) the need to strengthen data collection and ground management system, which again raised the need for Europe to develop appropriate policies to address the data and potential European partners outside Europe to obtain the data between users, sharing and distribution issues forward.
European satellite Center
2002 年 1 月 Toledo, Spain, the EU established a special permanent satellite data center EU under the decision-making, particularly with regard to European security and defense policy,. small European countries, her main task is commonly used to monitor the interests of the European region, including maritime surveillance, support for arms control, non-proliferation agreements and verification, environmental monitoring and security support, the EU and NATO-wide police and military exercise. Specifically, the three key Petersberg tasks: humanitarian and rescue, peacekeeping and combat forces in crisis management support, including peacekeeping operations.
States-led space program
France
France's current annual military budget is 17 million euros (of which 6,85 million euros allocated to the European Space Agency), France for the cost of the space program than any other country in Europe and more, these costs primarily through the French National Space Centre (CNES ) to complete, which was founded in 1961, in the development of French and European space industry plays a very big role. National Space Centre, based in Paris, Toulouse, Avery and Kourou in French Guiana has three divisions, a total of 2,400 employees, French Guiana Space Center launch site in Europe. France in addition to participation in the Galileo and GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) program, or the European Space Agency Ariane and Vega rockets (VEGA) emission plans and ARGOS and COSPAS-SARSET environmental monitoring and synthetic aperture radar surveillance system's main actors, and participate in a series of space exploration and scientific research projects.
with many different European countries, the French have a special budget for military space program. the French Defense Ministry plans for the period 2005-2010 to 3.6 billion euros into the space program. France's most important military application of space program is the HELIOS (monitoring and detection of optical imaging systems), Syracuse communication systems, Graves radar system, which have the ability to make the French Defense Ministry plans separate target detection and tracking of space.
HELIOS IA and IB and 99 were launched in 1995, EADS-ASTIUM is the satellite prime contractor. a new generation of HELIOS II will ensure continuous service while providing some important features, including enhanced resolution, infrared capability (night observation) to expand the imaging capabilities, while several models, image transmission time shortened. In addition to day and night intelligence capabilities (visual and infrared capabilities), HELIOS II system will also be used to target objectives, guidance, mission planning and battle damage verification. HELIOS IIA satellite in December 2004 has moved from French Guiana Kourou launch site, HELIOS IIB plans to launch the end of 2008 Nianxia. Belgium and Spain shares the HELIOS II program, France and Germany and Italy signed a bilateral agreement on exchange of information.

Syracuse IA2005 launched in October, in August 2006 Syracuse IIB launch.
France is the only EU member states special electronic intelligence program countries, consisting of 4 small satellites ESSAIM network. ESSAIM launched in December 2004, the company built by the EADS-ASTRIUM initial budget of $ 80,000,000. now there are plans to make the cost double in 2008, expanded to three electronic intelligence satellites.
France The SPIRALE missile warning system is in early stages of development, the two satellites scheduled for launch in 2008 my grandmother. Although for early warning of the potential of these satellites, including missile defense in the future within the system, though the little public information. France is also develop a new generation of PLEIADES binary optical dual (military and civilian) systems, PLEIADES system is designed to continue to serve in France in 1986, the vanguard of SPOT system, now only SPOT2, 4 and 5 are still running, the system is considered to be France Italy ORFEO (optical United Earth observation and radar) system was part of plans to launch between 2008-2010. PLEIADES satellites are built by the EADS-ASTRIUM companies, several innovative technologies, including new measurement tools, fast data transfer rates and quick guidance and control system. Although the system is to ensure the rapid and detailed mapping of urban environments and provide a broad coverage of the Earth for police and civilian security applications - for example, but the system is designed to military priority PLEIADES data.
France has nuclear missiles and launch resources, with important military space programs, including missile warning, tracking and target capacity it is not surprising. At the same time, it supports negotiations to prevent the weaponization of space, a strategic plan emphasizes cooperation and peace, security and purpose of European autonomy free access to space. France believes that the European national space will remain the center of the French space policy.
Germany within the framework of Germany in Europe to consider its space policy in Europe and beyond with the characteristics of cooperation . It is a total space budget of 7,5 billion euros, of which two-thirds of the European Space Agency plans to invest. Space activities are mainly through the DLR (German Aerospace Control Center) to coordinate, which has 5,000 employees, estimated to amount to 4,5 billion euros. DLR has 30 research institutes, located in eight places, the most important near Munich to the number of OBERPFAFFENHOFEN.
major German military reconnaissance plan is SAR-LUPE, a constellation of satellites by the few. This project development and its experience in the relevant NATO action in Kosovo, especially when connection sharing and protection with the U.S. non-US allied security-related information when the satellite encountered great difficulties. These experiences made in Germany believe that they need their own space-based intelligence-gathering assets.
SAR-LUPE system plan is composed of five satellites X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation, the distribution of the three polar orbit from the Earth about 500 km altitude.'s first satellite in December 2006 successfully put into orbit, the constellation deployment is expected to complete in 2008. with the French government requested a bilateral agreement signed between the SAR-LUPE HELIOS data to exchange data.
