Sectors
Curious about what the different EU Space Programme components do for us on a daily basis?
Check out how we serve different sectors:
The challenge of growing food sustainably is one of the greatest of this century. It will require using our resources in an environmentally friendly way – especially our soil and water.
The EU Space Programme plays a crucial role in supporting Europe's energy transition and environmental protection.
When we say Copernicus is Europe’s eyes on Earth, we mean all of the Earth. It is able to observe nearly the entire surface of the globe, including its atmosphere, land, and ocean environments.
Water isn’t just essential for our health and the planet’s well-being - it’s the foundation around which we've built much of our society.
When lives are at stake, EU Space safety and security services play a key role. From forecasting drought risk to guiding humanitarian aid and response, each component of the EU Space Programme plays an important part in protecting communities.
Thanks to navigation systems like Galileo and EGNOS, it’s never been easier to find cultural sites and events at home and abroad. Space-based solutions can also support conservation and preservation efforts for historically or culturally significant sites.
The way we live and move is increasingly shaped by insights and technologies from the EU Space Programme.
