TL;DR Summary

SpaceX has reportedly reached a deal with the European Space Agency to launch four navigation and communications satellites into orbit, marking the first partnership between the European Union and Elon Musk's company on a satellite containing classified information. The satellites, part of the EU's Galileo system, will be launched from the US using SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. This marks the first time in 15 years that Galileo satellites will be sent into orbit from outside the EU. The deal still needs approval from the European Commission and member states.
