EU Space Policy

The Council of the European Union has announced measures to strengthen the EU's architecture for responding to threats in space. The move is part of broader European efforts to protect space-based infrastructure, such as satellites and navigation systems, which are increasingly vital to security, communications and the economy. Details of the specific measures were not immediately available, but the announcement underlines growing EU concern about vulnerabilities in orbit.

Recent developments in UK and European space policy and industrial strategy have drawn attention. The coverage examines how the UK and EU are shaping regulation, funding and industrial planning for their space sectors. No specific measures or decisions are detailed in the available reporting, so the exact nature of the changes remains unclear.

The European Union held its second Access to Space conference, aimed at translating European space policy into practical launch capabilities. According to an observer report carried by the EU's space agenda, the meeting mapped how Europe can move from policy frameworks to actually reaching orbit, amid growing interest in securing independent and competitive access to space for EU programmes and industry.

Open Cosmos attended the first Vaduz Space Dialogue, a new forum focused on shaping a federated European Union approach to space-based connectivity. The satellite company's participation signals growing industry involvement in EU efforts to coordinate satellite communications across member states, an area seen as strategically important for secure and resilient European infrastructure.
