European Union Space Programme

The European Union Space Programme is a collaborative initiative that funds and coordinates space activities across EU member states. It aims to boost economic growth, security, and scientific knowledge by developing satellite systems like Galileo (Europe's global navigation) and Copernicus (Earth observation). The programme fosters innovation, supports telecommunications, environmental monitoring, and disaster response, while also promoting international cooperation. By pooling resources and expertise, the EU seeks to enhance independence in space technology and provide services that benefit society, industries, and policymakers, ensuring Europe's competitive position and contribution to global space efforts.
