SES To Deliver Satellite Communications Infrastructure And Services To Galileo

Contract with BT supports Galileos Data Dissemination Network

Luxembourg SES S.A. (NYSE Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) announced today that it has signed, through its service company SES TechCom, a contract with BT to provide satellite communications services for the Galileo Data Dissemination Network (GDDN) to support the Galileo Operator Spaceopal. The agreement includes the deployment, maintenance and support of Satcom ground infrastructure at various remote locations around the world including Antarctica, the provision of satellite capacity, and the monitoring and control of the GDDN satellite network. BT is the communications service provider of GDDN, responsible for its design, deployment and operation, while Spaceopal is Galileos Operations contractor. The contract was signed today in Luxemburg in the presence of the Grand-Duchys Minister for Higher Education and Research Minister, Franois Biltgen, in Luxembourg.

SES TechCom Managing Director Gerhard Bethscheider stated: The selection of SES TechCom for this prestigious project illustrates the reputation which the Luxembourg Space industry has acquired since 2005, when the Grand-Duchy became a full member of the European Space Agency. We are delighted to work closely together with our partners BT and Spaceopal on the realisation of Europes most prestigious satellite navigation constellation.

Galileo - managed by the European Space Agency on behalf of the European Union - is Europes initiative for a state-of-the-art global satellite navigation system, designed to provide a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. GDDN is an essential element of the Galileo communications infrastructure. It interconnects the two Galileo Control Centers in Italy and Germany to an extensive network of sensor stations, uplink stations and TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking & Control) stations distributed around the world. It also provides the connectivity to the Galileo satellite test and launch facilities, security monitoring centers, network management facilities and external entities.

Edwin Hageman, CEO BT Benelux, said: Following our successful deployment in the in-orbit validation phase of the project, we were thrilled that Spaceopal selected us last December to also provide network services in the next full operational capability phase. In this phase, we will expand the network and upgrade existing sites to the latest design and technology. I am confident that with SES, we have a winning team to deliver the opportunities that lie ahead for the Galileo programme.

Francesco dAmore, Spaceopals Managing Director, explained: Galileo is much more than operating satellites in space from control centers in Oberpfaffenhofen and Fucino. The overall operations management needs permanent connections, with infrastructure distributed around the globe. The worldwide network is essential to ensure the continuity and reliability of the time and positioning information. Therefore, Spaceopal relies on the huge experience of both European communication service providers BT and SES.

Minister Biltgen recalled the instrumental role of the participation of Luxembourg in the ESA Galileo programme to enable the positioning of Luxembourg industry in the implementation of the European GNSS programmes: The contract signed today is an illustration that the capabilities developed in the frame of ESA programs lead to new opportunities for the Luxembourg space industry. Successes like the present one justify the continuous support of the Government to the development of this sector in Luxembourg. Luxembourg joined the Galileo programme of ESA in 2005. This participation enabled Luxembourg industry to become a visible contributor to the development and the deployment of the Galileo system.

Josh Fink Contemplates Problem with Sustainable Fishing

A new article from The Huffington Post sheds light on the difficulties that are associated with denoting sustainable seafood, or products that have come from industry-regulated practices. While more consumers are searching for this type of sustainable seafood, it has become difficult to determine exactly what type of products fall into this category, thus making sustainable shopping a challenge. Fisherman Josh Fink explains that consumers must become educated when purchasing seafood. He also notes that the industry must work to create a better way of denoting sustainable products from those that come from illegal practices.

The article explains that in a survey completed by NPR, 3,000 individuals offered their opinions on seafood labeling. The results showed that 80 percent of Americans felt it was "important" or "very important" that seafood was caught using sustainable methods. The survey defined the term sustainable as "still being plentiful for future generations, and caught using methods that did minimal harm to other animals in the sea."

The Marine Stewardship Council label is often how consumers determine whether a product is sustainable, but even this form of information can be misleading. The MSC label was awarded to McDonald's Alaskan Pollack, even though some reports indicate that Pollack stocks are only "moderately healthy" and suffer from declining numbers.

This ambiguous definition of sustainable seafood becomes problematic for consumers. Josh Fink offers his thoughts on the matter, "While many purchasers have good intentions when it comes to buying fish, it's often difficult to know exactly what you're buying. It becomes even more difficult when you have little to no knowledge about the industry. This is why those who purchase seafood regularly should take some time to understand the idea of sustainability, in order to make more educated purchasing choices. At the same time, the industry needs to work to create a standard, thus making it easy for consumers who are interested in supporting healthy fishing practices."

Though the industry lacks a unifying standard that works to define exactly what products fall into the category of "sustainable," some companies are taking action to promote legal practices. Whole Foods announced last year that it would stop selling unsustainable fish, using the MSC as a guide. Unfortunately, while companies like Wal-Mart have also tried to embrace sustainable seafood, this has actually become a negative for the industry. Critics explain that the MSC has lowered its standards regarding what is classified as sustainable in order to keep up with Wal-Mart's massive demands.

Josh Fink is an outdoor enthusiast who spends much of his free time snowshoeing, canoeing, fishing, and hiking. He has also summited some of the world's most impressive peaks, including Mount Everest and Kilimanjaro.
