China to Help Europe Develop GPS Rival
China is to contribute to a new global satellite navigation system being developed by European nations. The Galileo satellite system ____51____ a more accurate civilian alternative to the Global Positioning System(GPS), operated by the US military. China will provide 230m Euros (USD259m) in ____52____ and will cooperate with technical, manufacturing and market development. “China will help Galileo to ____53____ the major world infrastructure for the growing market for location services,” said Loyola de Palacio, EU transport commissioner. A new center that will coordinate co-operation was also announced____ 54____ the European Commission, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology not long____ 55 ____The China-Europe Global Navigation Satellite System Technical Training and Cooperation Center will be ____56____ at Beijing University. China has a substantial satellite launch industry and could potentially help launch the Galileo satellites.
The US has claimed that Galileo could interfere ____57____ the US ability to downgrade the GPS service during military conflicts. European officials say this is unfounded and counter that US opposition ____58____ the commercial challenge Galileo would present to GPS. Galileo will be precise to within a meter, while the civilian GPS service is accurate to around 10 meters.
