Russia launches second satellite for Galileo navigation system
It's good to see Russia and EU cooperating in this field....
 Galileo is a planned global navigation satellite system, being built by the European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA). The €3.4 billion project is an alternative and complementary to the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian GLONASS. On November 30, 2007 the 27 EU transportation ministers involved reached an agreement that it should be operational by 2013.[1] When in operation, it will have two ground operations centers, one near Munich, Germany, and another in Fucino, 130km east of Rome, Italy.[2] Since 18 May 2007, at the recommendation of Transport Commissioner Jacques Barrot, the EU took direct control of the Galileo project from the private sector group of eight companies called European Satellite Navigation Industries, which had abandoned this Galileo project in early 2007.

 The experimental satellite, Giove-B, was put into orbit by a Soyuz carrier rocket launched from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan in the early hours on Sunday, Roscosmos said.  Galileo will be Europe's own global navigation satellite system, providing highly accurate global positioning service under civilian control. It will operate along with Russia's GLONASS (global navigation satellite system) and the U.S. GPS (Global Positioning System).  The Galileo new positioning and communications system will eventually comprise 30 satellites and is expected to become operational from 2013.

On April 27, 2008, the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle with a Fregat booster orbited the GSTB-V/2A (GIOVE-B) spacecraft of the European navigation system Galileo.

Global navigation will surely be turned against us by a select few to monitor our every move on earth. Google has a pretty good system of pics that can zoom right down on you.
