OHB-System and ESA signing Galileo contract

Nordwijk, January 26, 2010. The Director of the Galileo Programme and
Navigation related activities, Mr René Oosterlinck, and the CEO of
OHB-System AG (a subsidiary of OHB Technology AG), Berry Smutny, have today
signed the contract for the development and construction of 14 Galileo
satellites. These signatures implement the decision made by the European
Commission two weeks ago to nominate OHB-System as prime contractor for the
1st 14 satellites.

With a total volume of around EUR 566 million, the contract assigns to
OHB-System the function of prime contractor for 14 satellites. OHB will
also be responsible to develop and assemble the satellite bus. Under the
terms of a subcontract, UK based company Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.
(SSTL) will be developing and building the navigation payload and
additionally supporting OHB in the final assembly of the satellites. The 14
satellites will be integrated in Bremen, with the first two scheduled for
launch in late 2012.
