O'Neill's satellite plan Message-ID: <63@utastro.UUCP> Date: Sun, 29-Jan-84 16:28:32 EST Article-I.D.: utastro.63 Posted: Sun Jan 29 16:28:32 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 31-Jan-84 03:33:38 EST References: <16075@sri-arpa.UUCP> Organization: UTexas Astronomy Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 14 Ther was an article in last week's or this week's Science which said that the Eurpoean Space Agency (ESA) was planning to orbit its own set of satellites, similar to NAVSTAR (I believe it was called "NAVSAT"), which would provide the same accuracy, unencrypted, that NAVSTAR provides to military users. If this is true, it may not matter what the U. S. government feels about O'Neill's plan.
