Europe, the space journey is yours. 🚀 As the European Space Agency celebrates five decades of exploration, the European Union proudly stands as the key partner. Space is where our groundworks lift off. We are investing nearly €15 billion in the EU space programmes for the period 2021–2027. From Galileo’s precision navigation to Copernicus’ earth observation, and the upcoming EU Secure Connectivity Programme IRIS2, EU-backed missions deliver real impact, right here, on Earth. Our goal: to drive sustainability, strengthen security and spark innovation through cutting-edge satellite technology. Toward a stronger, better future tomorrow. Let the sky unite us.
On 4 November 2025 at 6:03 p.m. local time in Kourou, the Copernicus Sentinel-1D satellite will lift off aboard Ariane 6. Ready for the countdown? 3️⃣2️⃣1️⃣🚀 Mark your calendar!

Challenge accepted. 🚀 We’re taking Europe’s space vision one step further, literally! We're proud together with STEP - EU Project to shape the future of infrared technology for space missions. 🌍🔬 https://step-project.eu/
Europe’s ambition in space reflects the same principle that built the Union itself — cooperation, not competition.
What purpose do the satellites you claim to have spent hundreds of billions of euros on for years serve? You're still 99% dependent on fiber cable networks. The public may be being deceived regarding these satellites. Hundreds of billions of euros may be being spent on corruption through these satellites. Finally, and most importantly, why are you concealing the balloons that hold these satellites?
Amazing! 🤩 👏 🛰️
If we could be first united on Earth… 😉
An interesting article- the loss of Souyz did cause a considerable disruption to ESA/Arianespace operations, but with Vega C and Ariane 6 the outlook is promising. It is pointless comparing Europe with the Americans- Apart from ULA the vast majority of bulk launch operators are led by single source finance- with the potential instability therein.

5dNice rhetoric. But EU ‘space leadership’ is mostly imports and press releases. After losing Soyuz, Europe relied on SpaceX to launch Galileo and fill its launcher gap while Ariane 6 slipped years. ‘Strategic autonomy’ that rides on American rockets isn’t autonomy. The €15B headline is spread over 7 years and 27 countries—thin gruel versus U.S. public + private spend. Galileo and Copernicus are useful, but both carry delays and overruns; IRIS² isn’t operational and faces procurement/budget questions. If Europe wants a real space economy, it needs working launch cadence, faster procurement, and room for competitive private players not more Brussels brochures.
