ACCESS TO SPACE

Independent access to space is a key prerequisite for economic strength and security sovereignty. With our many years of expertise and technological excellence in launch systems and space infrastructure, we make a decisive contribution to European independence.

At the same time, we are working to ensure that Europe’s ACCESS TO SPACE is fit for the future—with more flexible launch capabilities, modern infrastructure, and new, competitive launch options. This includes establishing launch sites on land and at sea to enable fast, efficient, and independent missions, as well as sustainably strengthening the European space sector.
