The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is established.
During July 2005 the EGNOS system is tested for the second time, to track cyclists in the Tour de France road race. EGNOS is part of the european GPS-competitor Galileo GNSS system.
During the development of "Galileo GNSS", the U.S. officially declared that the european "system will only be subject to shutdown for military purposes in extreme circumstances"
After 9/11, the United States Government writes to the European Union opposing the project arguing that "it would end the ability of the United States to shut down GPS in times of military operations..."
In September 2003, China joins the Galileo project. In April 2009, Norway too joins the programme.
The European Satellite Services Provider (ESSP)-SAS, a form of French company founded in April 2001,

Just 2 days prior, the U.S. Department of Defense is handing out new Airborne Sensor Contracts "for Tracking Afghan Insurgents", which include Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery.
