Hazards originating in space carry the risk of sudden disaster and potentially derailing everyday life, from natural threats like asteroids and solar storms to the human-made one of space debris.
ESA’s Space Safety Programme is dedicated to making sure we can detect, predict and mitigate these space hazards in time. The Programme's plans for the 2025 Council Ministerial ensure Europe is ready to protect its citizens and critical infrastructure while fostering new commercial opportunities for the European space sector – elevating the future of Europe.
