I recall that the quantum compass/INAS, funded by the MOD and demonstrated last month was described as “commercially ready” and, perhaps, may indicate why the government felt confident enough to withdraw from Galileo.
Always good to be optimistic , but not holding my breath here ; Still ongoing arguments in the MOD about which variant of the F 35 to fund. Meanwhile , at a more mundane level , news reports of married quarters being left empty / vandalised / burnt down ( RAFManby Officers Mess) at a cost of quite a few millions to the taxpayer doesn't exactly inspire confidence . As I said , could be a while before any decisions are made regarding any UK funded satellite constellations .. Our grand kids may see it .
I guess the writing was on the wall when we gave up launching stuff from Woomera .. Meanwhile , it's full steam ahead for ESA at Kourou.
