Europe Reluctantly Chooses SpaceX to Launch Its GPS Satellites::Elon Musk’s SpaceX is set to undertake its first launch of European satellites equipped with classified technology, specifically for the Galileo system.
Stupid headline. Europe’s sat nav / global position platform is Galileo, not GPS.
Seems like a “Q-tip” or “Kleenex” type of thing. It isn’t ‘sat nav’ either as that is a product the end-user uses and the installation is used for more than turn-by-turn navigation.
Correct, it’s an antonomasia.
