Germany's Federal Intelligence Service (BND) will get its own satellite, possibly as soon as in 2022, German media report.
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.
