Space may seem distant, but space technologies, data and services shape our daily lives — from navigation on smartphones and cars to monitoring climate change and coordinating disaster response. The EU Space Act aims to create a single market for space, harmonising rules across Europe and fostering technological innovation, job creation, and economic competitiveness, while always prioritising citizens’ and societal benefit.
With over 11,000 satellites already orbiting Earth — a number expected to increase fivefold in the coming years — the European Commission is proposing new rules for safety, security and sustainability in all EU space activities.

Key goals of the EU Space Act:
• Harmonise rules — one market, one rulebook
• Ensure satellite safety by reducing debris and preventing collisions
• Strengthen resilience against cyberattacks on space infrastructure
• Build a greener, more sustainable space economy
• Boost innovation, competitiveness and job creation
• Support Europe’s leadership in the global space sector

Watch the spectacular EU Satellite Space Launch of the Copernicus Sentinel-1D. This is the latest satellite from the EU Space Programme. It lifted off on 4 November 2025 aboard an Ariane 6 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.

Sentinel-1D continues Europe’s radar-based Earth observation mission, delivering 24/7, all-weather imagery to monitor climate change, natural disasters, maritime safety, and environmental protection.

Equipped with a Galileo receiver, it strengthens Europe’s autonomy in space while freely sharing vital data worldwide.

Travelling across Europe should be easy, fast, and affordable. That’s why the Commission has adopted a set of new proposals to accelerate the roll-out of Europe’s high-speed rail network.

The new high-speed rail action plan aims to cut journey times and make rail a more attractive alternative to short-haul flights or long car journeys. With trains reaching speeds of 200 km/h and above, travel time between EU capitals will drop significantly.
