    "excerpt": "MADRID, 27 (EUROPA PRESS) The European Space Agency (ESA), on behalf of the European Union (EU) Agency for the Space Programme (Euspa), and by delegation of the European Commission, has awarded Airbus a contract for the manufacture of two additional second-generation Galileo satellites, the company announced in a statement this Tuesday. Building on an existing order of six second-generation (G2) Galileo satellites, this additional pair will benefit from existing manufacturing capabilities. G2 satellites will incorporate enhanced navigation antennas that will help increase the precision of the \"flagship European satellite navigation system\". EQUIPPED WITH HIGHER RESISTANCE NAVIGATION ANTENNAS Furthermore, these satellites will be equipped with higher-resistance navigation antennas and will feature digital payloads that can be reconfigured in orbit, allowing them to actively respond to the changing needs of users with new signals and services. In this regard, Airbus has indicated that it has developed a coordinated production program to leverage satellite manufacturing, integration, and testing expertise across its facilities, including German facilities in Backnang, Friedrichshafen, and Ottobrunn, Getafe (Madrid), and Toulouse (France). The satellites will feature an improved atomic clock configuration, as well as inter-satellite links, allowing them to communicate and perform...",
