ACCESS TO SPACE

Independent access to space is a key prerequisite for economic strength and strategic sovereignty. With our extensive expertise and technological excellence in launch systems and space infrastructure, we make a decisive contribution to Europe’s independence.

At the same time, we are working to make Europe’s access to space future-proof through more flexible launch capabilities, modern infrastructure, and new competitive launch solutions. This also includes the development of launch sites on land and at sea, enabling fast, efficient, and independent missions while sustainably strengthening the European space sector.
