EU presentation at the UN (May 2025) clarifying the difference between Space Traffic Management (regulatory, long-term rules) and Space Traffic Coordination (operational, immediate collision avoidance). Both approaches are complementary and essential.

Space Situational Awareness (SSA) provides accurate information on the space environment, ensuring uninterrupted space services for EU citizens. Essential for strategic autonomy, SSA takes a holistic approach to monitor main space hazards: collisions, fragmentation, re-entry, space weather, and near-Earth objects.

The EU approach on Space Traffic Management (STM) proposed by the Commission and the High Representative therefore aims at keeping space operations safe, space orbits usable, and space accessible for decades to come while ensuring and further fostering the competitiveness of the EU space industry.

EU Space Surveillance and Tracking (EU SST) is the cornerstone of EU STM strategy. EU SST fosters innovation and supports European industrial capabilities for strategic autonomy. The EU Industry and Start-ups Forum on STM (EISF) unites stakeholders to define R&D priorities.

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.

The action " COPERNICUS FOR MARINE SPATIAL PLANNING AND EU DIRECTIVES" analysed how Copernicus Marine Services can contribute to the effective implementation of EU Marine Directives.
