Battle over Brexit may spread to space

EU threatens to block UK from Galileo satellite navigation system

The United Kingdom's pending exit from the European Union will create upheaval in Britain and Europe, and consequences that could reach into space.

The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that the UK and EU are embroiled in a row about Britain's post-Brexit access to the Galileo satellite navigation system, with the EU threatening to block access and the UK responding by suggesting it may build a satellite system of its own.
