Galileo legal process ticks over
Giove-B flies at the end of the month
The next and vital step has been taken by Europe in its quest to set up the Galileo satellite-navigation system.
EU transport ministers have approved the so-called Galileo Implementation Regulation.
This is the legal instrument that releases the 3.4bn euros agreed by finance ministers in 2007 to fund construction of the space-based system.
It means contracts can soon be awarded to establish ground stations, to build spacecraft, and provide launchers.
Competition for those contracts should be closed by December, initiating work that ensures Galileo is up and running by the end of 2013.

The unveiling
Tata Motors has unveiled the world's cheapest motor car at India's biggest car show in the capital, Delhi.
The vehicle, called the Tata Nano, will sell for 100,000 rupees or $2,500 (£1,277) and enable those in developing countries to move to four wheels.
The four-door five-seater car, which goes on sale later this year, has a 33bhp, 624cc, engine at the rear.
It has no air conditioning, no electric windows and no power steering, but two deluxe models will be on offer.

Super-efficient engines ditch the spark
The next big step in gasoline engines burns fuel like diesel engines burn diesel. But hurdles remain.
By Peter Valdes-Dapena, CNNMoney.com staff writer
Last Updated: June 11, 2008: 9:07 AM EDT
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Car companies are working to perfect a new generation of gasoline engines that could get up to 20% better fuel efficiency. The system, which burns gasoline without spark plugs, relies in massive amounts of speed and power - the computer kind - to work.
It's called Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition, or HCCI. General Motors (GM, Fortune 500) has been allowing journalists to drive a test vehicle with this technology. It clearly isn't quite ready for the mass market, but GM insists that it's finally in the home stretch after years of trying.
"You're basically getting the best of gas and diesel all together," said Kelly Mundt, director of gasoline system marketing for auto parts supplier Bosch, which is working on some components needed for this new engine system.
