"A UK-built satellite set to be launched in late December carries a tribute to a
young British space engineer who died in the Boxing Day tsunami.

Tom Fairbairn, who was 25, worked on Giove-A, the test mission for Europe's
satellite-navigation system, Galileo.

The spacecraft is due to lift off on 28 December aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket from
Baikonur in Kazakhstan."
