Europe’s security starts in space 🛡️ From Galileo’s secure navigation signals to Italy’s dual-use IRIDE constellation, from independent access to space to new cyber defence capabilities in Belgium — we’re already proving that Europe can safeguard its critical space assets. Now we’re proposing to go further by building a long-term, resilient ‘system of systems’ — Earth observation, secure navigation, and communications — to support Europe’s security and defence from space. At our Council at ministerial level this November, contributions will open to the European Resilience from Space initiative: a bold new step in shaping our collective future in space and security. 📹 @europeanspaceagency 🎞️ ESA/@NASA–@thom_astro; ESA, @cnes_france, @arianegroup, Videoblock; ESA, @airbus_space, ohb_se; @iride_programma_spaziale; S.
