Space

Find out how the EU space programme helps us to carry out everyday activities on Earth, create jobs and boost growth in Europe.

EU satellites allow millions of people to communicate using new technologies, to travel by land, sea and air, and to develop ways to improve the health of our planet.

The EU is also taking action to protect its space assets, deter hostile activities in space and strengthen its strategic autonomy.
