At a Glance - First EU space strategy for security and defence: What implications for EU strategic autonomy? - PE 747.448 - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection - Committee on Foreign Affairs - Committee on Industry, Research and...

Another 'wake-up call' came from a different direction; SpaceX's advances in reusable rocket technology leading to Starship's first orbital flight test turned the spotlight onto launch providers and access to space. Space is a critical infrastructure issue with growing economic significance. It is also an increasingly contested arena between competing geopolitical interests. To address these rising challenges, in March 2023 the European Commission and the High Representative/Vice-President presented their first joint communication on a European space strategy for security and defence.
