The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Galileo Joint Undertaking (GJU) have not officially announced that the Big Five nations have reached an interim financial agreement on Galileos first industrial phase, but knowledgeable sources say such an agreement was reached. Germany, France, Italy, Span, and the United Kingdom reportedly will contribute 200 million of the 400 million euros budget, which is enough to launch the first satellites, secure frequencies allocated by the International Telecommunications Union, sign a development contract with Galileo Industries, and proceed with the initial stages of the deployment program. The initial phase will put four satellites into orbit to validate the most important technologies of the complex Galileo system. With full deployment, Galileo will have 30 satellites in operation, and that level of implementation is expected to be completed by the end of 2010. Over the past few months, each country exercised vetoes, and Germany Italy,and the United Kingdom are still opposing the ESA agreement. Each country has a list of priorities regarding location of assets, facilities, and staffing by national aerospace contractors. Among topics highlighted are GIOVE (Galileo In-Orbit Validation) which is being discussed in A and B iterations. For instance, the second satellite, GIOVE B, was developed by consortium Galileo Industries and will have goals similar to those of GIOVE A, but adds a passive hydromaser clock and simultaneous three-channel transmission.
