SPACE · Space critical equipment for EU non-dependence

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: • Reinforcing EU strategic autonomy by reducing non-EU dependencies on critical space equipment and related technologies across their entire supply chain; • Providing unrestricted access to critical space equipment and related technologies relevant for EU space missions; • Developing or regaining capacity to operate independently in space by developing resilient critical space equipment…
