We develop the space capabilities Europe needs to act independently, remain connected and respond effectively in times of crisis. By securing access to space and advancing Earth observation, navigation, and communications we help protect citizens, critical infrastructure and essential services.
Our objectives through 2040:
- Secure autonomous and competitive access to and mobility in space through new (potentially including reusable) transportation systems and services
- Develop next-generation technologies and systems in connectivity, PNT, and EO for a more connected and safer future for citizens.
- Develop state-of-the-art space solutions for the prediction and management of natural and anthropogenic disasters and emergencies.
This is one of five strategic goals guiding ESA through 2040. Explore the full strategy to discover how our ambitions and actions come together to elevate the future of Europe through space.
