[GW1FKY@aol.com]

Hi all,
It has been announced that SSTL  (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd  )  and 
its partners DMCii are to build 
and launch 3 satellites at a cost of £100 million.      A UK project of 
course.
The satellites are expected to be launched in 2013 and used for imaging the 
 earth with a resolution of 
1 metre.
It is also planned to let other countries whom may not be able to afford to 
 build or launch satellites. Buy
time for use of the SSTL satellites.
Many congratulations to Sir Martin Sweeting and his teams on yet another  
major project for the group.
