As a result of increasing security risks like: Weaponisation of migration, acts of sabotage and potential misuse of visas, Russian nationals will face tighter EU visa rules, including the removal of multiple-entry permits.
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
