Horizon Europe is the EU’s framework programme for research and innovation for the 2021-2027 period. EU Space is funded through Horizon Europe’s ‘Digital, industry and space’ cluster.

In-Space Operations and Services (ISOS) will improve the performance, resilience, and sustainability of space assets.

In-Orbit-Demonstration and Validation (IOD/IOV) is the EU’s programme to help new technologies be tested in orbit.

The EU Space Networks support the European Commission's mission to bridge skills and data usage gaps, promoting EU space data and services, and facilitating their uptake in new sectors.

The Digital Space Ecosystem is an interactive space for European Space actors to network, share knowledge, promote products, services and facilities, organise events, co-develop with new initiatives, and much more.

The CASSINI initiative (Competitive Space Start-ups for Innovation) is designed to boost space businesses in Europe.

The benefits of space-based imagery and radar data appear in many aspects of our daily lives.

The EU Space Programme plays a crucial role in supporting Europe's energy transition and environmental protection.

EU Space in your daily life 

The EU Space programme brings you services that make your life easier, safer, and more sustainable. Our space activities serve communities around the world, as well as the planet we all call home. 

This study supports EU Space Traffic Management policy to ensure sustainable, safe space use and EU strategic autonomy. It assessed existing STM standards and guidelines, evaluated feasibility of an EU-level mechanism, and developed a blueprint for implementing an EU Space Label framework.

This report proposes an EU Space Label—a voluntary mechanism to promote adherence to common STM standards for space safety and sustainability. It maps the STM landscape, reviews existing standards, assesses feasibility, and provides a blueprint and roadmap for implementation.

Space Traffic Management (STM) is a key EU strategic challenge. This study defines STM at EU level, maps the global ecosystem, reviews regulatory frameworks, and assesses three policy actions from the 2022 Joint Communication: licensing toolbox, incentive measures for standards, and STM legislation.

Space Situational Awareness (SSA) — Europe's comprehensive programme monitoring space hazards through three pillars: tracking orbital objects (EU SST), space weather monitoring (SWE), and near-Earth object detection (NEO) to protect assets in space and on Earth.

One of the actions goals was to provide a methodology to interact with national coastal stakeholders to collect their needs and to map existing national services.
