[Georg]

The budget control of the German Bundestag has given green light for a 400million Euro (~ $466million) spy satelit project. The project is for the German BND (Federal Intelligence Service) includes 3 spy satelites. Currently they have offers from Airbus Industry, space company OHD and Israel IAI.
With the green light given it is most likely that this month the order is placed.
Insider belive OHD will make the race, they already have build spy satelites for the German Army.
