MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The country’s budget commission has approved the allocation of the first finances for the project, Suddeutsche Zeitung said on Thursday.

The total cost of the satellite is estimated at over $430 million.

The new satellite project means that the BND could become less reliant on German army and US satellites that currently provide it with data.
