We mobilise people and resources to create, curate, make sense of and use knowledge to inform policymaking across Europe.
The EU space policy and programmes support a wide range of services used across Europe every day, from environmental monitoring and emergency response to satellite navigation, secure communications, and space safety.
Its components, Copernicus, Galileo and EGNOS, Space Situational Awareness, GOVSATCOM, and soon IRIS², provide shared European capabilities which no single Member State could deliver in the same way alone.
By pooling expertise, investments, infrastructure, and requirements, the EU and its Member States make space-based data and services more scalable, comparable, interoperable, and widely available across Europe and beyond. Although much of this infrastructure is invisible to the public, it supports services which citizens rely on in their daily lives.
