Summary

In a geopolitical context characterized by rising power competition and escalating threats to the European Union and its Member States, EU leaders have identified the space domain as a critical strategic domain within their Strategic Compass, explicitly calling for the formation of an EU Space Strategy focused on security and defence. This space domain encompasses all elements essential for the operation of space systems and the delivery of space-based services to the Union and its members, including the outer space environment, specific orbits and spacecraft involved, relevant information on their systems, ground and launch infrastructure, radio frequency links, user terminals, and cyber systems.
