Germany has access to at least 1,000 <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">four-digit number <\/span>\u200bof these high-resolution pictures per day, <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">writes <\/span>\u200bDer Spiegel writes. These were especially crucial\u00a0in overseas operations like those in Afghanistan<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> these were crucial<\/span>\u200b. Without the approval of Tandem X,\u00a0Germany might lo<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">o<\/span>\u200bse this intelligence source.<br\/><br\/>This week, the procurement proposal was discussed in the budget committee of the Bundestag, but final approval was postponed. Sources familiar with the subject expect that it will pass the committee in December.<br\/><br\/>According to sources, most NATO countries \u2014\u00a0plus Australia, Israel, Thailand and some countries in the Middle East \u2014\u00a0will participate\u00a0in\u00a0Tandem X. The satellite survey project was developed under a public-private partnership between the German Aerospace Center, DLR<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">,<\/span>\u200b and Astrium GmbH<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">,<\/span>\u200b\u00a0(now Airbus Defence and Space).<br\/><br\/>The German Ministry of Economics sponsored the project, which started in 2010, <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">strongly <\/span>\u200bwhile <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">a lower sum was contributed by <\/span>\u200bAirbus also contributed a lesser amount.<br\/><br\/>Because <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Due to the fact that \u00a0<\/span>\u200bthe military use of the data by foreign countries was not planned from the outset, no special contractual provisions for such a case were made. Since Airbus holds the commercial marketing rights for Tandem X data, it now can charge a hefty <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">EUR <\/span>\u200b\u20ac359 million\u00a0for the data licences,
