IRIS² for EU secure connectivity

IRIS² is the EU’s satellite network that will provide sovereign, secure, reliable connectivity across Europe and beyond.

ESA plays a key role in the IRIS² technical implementation, overseeing the constellation’s development, qualification and in-orbit validation, and translating the programme’s ambitions into industrial delivery. In cooperation with the European Commission and SpaceRISE, ESA will ensure the successful delivery of a secure and resilient connectivity system to further strengthen Europe's strategic autonomy and competitiveness.
