The first and fundamental purpose was -- kind of goes unnoticed, but has a difficult -- the impact is difficult to measure with precision, but it was to provide badly needed relief to individual families who are devastated by this recession.

For starters, it is impossible to measure the benefits received or the penalties suffered with any precision.
FORBES: Let's Divest of GM Yesterday

To do this the spacecraft will need fantastically accurate control systems: they will have to measure changes in the positions of the satellites with a precision of 20 picometres (a picometre is a millionth of a micron).
ECONOMIST: Birds of a feather

To put all this in perspective, even an astrophysicist, attempting to measure galaxies, would never need more than 10 or 15 digits of precision.
