Chile To Buy French Satellite For Military, Scientific Use
 The Chilean Air Force and the French EADS Astrium GmbH signed an agreement Friday, under which Chile will purchase a satellite from the French consortium.

The Chilean Defense Ministry said the satellite was purchased at some 72 million U.S. dollars to gather mining, agricultural, environmental and defense information.

Under the agreement, the satellite is expected to be lift off in 2010.
