The European Commission moves to strengthen EUSPA’s support in the implementation of the EU's space ambitions
The European Union proudly maintains its role as a global leader in space, committed to advancing capabilities from satellite navigation to Earth observation, secure connectivity, space situational awareness, space transportation, innovation and economy for civil and defence applications.
The EU has proposed a new standalone Regulation aimed at guaranteeing the operations of the future European Union Space Services Agency (EUSPA), currently known as the European Union Agency for the Space Programme.
EUSPA was initially tasked with implementing the Union Space Programme for the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027. Its mandate was expanded under Regulation (EU) 2023/588 with additional tasks from the Union Secure Connectivity Programme.
EUSPA is now entrusted with playing a crucial role in executing actions related to the Union Space Systems and Space Policy Implementation from 2028 to 2034, as part of the European Competitiveness Fund.
The proposal outlines the tasks and operational rules of the Agency, reflecting its name change and ensuring its continued operations and activities.
