Paris - Dec 08, 2003 Eutelsat said Friday that it has submitted a bid to the Galileo Joint Undertaking, together with LogicaCMG, Hispasat and AENA (Aeropuertos Espanoles y Navegacion Aerea), to run the Galileo Concession.

"The Consortium also brings to Galileo the benefit of its members' long-term relationships with all the major European industrial space and IT companies, Eutelsat having itself procured 30 satellites and associated launchers with a combined value of 3.5 billion euros from European industry." Eutelsat, as the leader in the bid, is joined by: LogicaCMG, a global supplier of mobile telecom applications, road/rail/air/marine transport telematics, defence IT, security IT and ground infrastructure for satellite navigation and control. Hispasat, Spain's national satellite operator with particular market focus in the Iberian Peninsula and the Americas.
