Tony Russo, U.S. National Office for Space-Based PNTAh, another Munich Summit plenary session filled with many already-knowns and former unknowns, the latter mostly conveyed in nuances and bon mots.
More about that in news reportage to come.
But in the event’s venue, a recently restored All-Saints Church under der Residenz, the speakers may have felt a little lingering moral pressure to tell the truth. So, a sampler plate of comments may be in order.

Wikimedia CommonsThe S-Bahn from Munich’s airport rolls through the frigid Bavarian fields and suburbs toward the main train station — my jumping off spot for the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit.
On its front page, the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper laments the return of winter to Germany just as the crocuses had managed to push their heads through the frozen earth, and on our night-time approach to the airport the lighted villages amid the snowy landscape evoke thoughts of Christmas more than Easter.
But enough with the weather report.

Inside GNSS editor Glen Gibbons in the Bavarian AlpsI’m on my way, with Inside GNSS Business Development Director Richard Fischer, to the 8th Munich Satellite Navigation Summit in Germany — the big one for European GNSS politics and program updates.
While we’re in the air, I thought I’d take a look back at last year’s conference to see if the GNSS operator predictions matched the results (To keep me honest – here’s my March 6 online news report from the 2009 Munich Summit.)
