3-2-1 Ignition !

Since November 2009 I have the privilege to work with the GNSS team within the European Commission at DG Enterprise.

I am participating the the inter-institutional relations legal and communication activities.

The Global Navigation Satellite System is a complex but fascinating subject which is promising many opportunities for our future: innovation, research, progress, employment, and the list is non exhaustive...

And a after a bit more than 2 years working with the GNSS teams, I had to occasion to participate and attend the launch of a Soyuz rocket, sending in orbit the 2 first satellites of the project.

Years of work (2 and a half in my case, 10 years for some colleagues), 10 seconds of suspense and the enormous satisfaction for all the team to witness a big step of the project being finalised.

And it is only the beginning of a long story.
