The EU Space Programme is the result of decades of efforts aiming at integrating all of Union’s various space programmes. It supports the EU’s mission to:
- Address major challenges such as climate change
- Stay ahead in the global competition for cutting edge technology
- Boost the economic growth of Europe with new industries
Many of our everyday activities in Europe are only possible thanks to the EU Space Programme’s navigation systems, Earth Observation services, communications support, and more. From navigating thanks to an app on your phone to being assured that Search And Rescue services can locate you in an emergency, EU Space helps ensure your safety at home and abroad.
Our data informs those who produce your food, those combatting pollution, and those ready to provide assistance during natural disasters. Furthermore, we are investing in the future through research and critical infrastructure, helping EU citizens stay safe and access major opportunities in the growing space sector.
