The functioning of economies, citizens and public policies increasingly relies on space-related services and data, including those in the field of security and defence. Space also contributes to achieving the EU’s political agenda, enabling the digital and green transitions, and enhancing its resilience. Yet, space is an increasingly contested area. In a geopolitical context of increasing power competition and intensification of threats to the EU and its Member States, EU leaders have identified space as a strategic domain in the Strategic Compass and have called for an EU Space Strategy for security and defence. The EU Security Union Strategy recognises space infrastructure as essential services which must be adequately protected against current and anticipated threats and be resilient.
