About this report
Europe’s space policy is no longer a specialised industrial file.
It is becoming part of the continent’s strategic operating infrastructure: the system through which governments communicate securely, armed forces preserve connectivity, economies receive trusted timing, border and maritime authorities monitor activity, crisis managers see events in near real time, and critical infrastructure remains functional under stress. The central problem is dependence.
Key questions this report answers
