Signals. Connections. Perspective.
The evidence behind Europe’s space industry.
What is changing, why it matters and what to watch next.
Featured analysis · Policy and Regulation
ESA's parallel EOGS studies examine how commercial, national and EU-owned capacity could form a service, with access and delivery roles still to be defined.

ESA and ENTSO-E identify grid uses for space services, with integration into operators' existing systems central to preparation for a call planned in November.
Read analysisMarket and Industry
ESA allocates EUR 310 million to the Nyx demonstration, plus EUR 450 million to optional missions. Arianespace provides the agreed demonstration launch.

Funding and Opportunities
UKSA's environmental-data call cannot be led by a space company or by a public body. Its rules make a commercial customer's commitment the first thing an application has to prove.
Technology and Innovation
The Horizon Europe project showed that a modular methalox test bench can be assembled and taken down in days. The hot fire planned for Catalonia has not been reported, and no permanent site or operator has been announced.
Policy and Regulation
ESPI's initial survey findings across Europe and Canada show broad but mostly moderate support for space activities, and larger top shares when people are asked about specific services such as weather forecasting.
Market and Industry
Sweden will own and operate its ICEYE radar system; Germany buys a service from satellites that stay with an industrial joint venture. A new letter of intent with Ukraine asks how those choices carry over to communications.
Technology and Innovation
The communications system built for Gateway's HALO module has completed testing and will go into storage. NASA is building HALO hardware into lunar-surface demonstrations still in development; ESA is studying whether Lunar Link can fly as a relay of its own.
Funding and Opportunities
Galp already has access to dust forecasts. Its challenge is turning them into a better cleaning decision — a useful distinction for teams entering ESA's current competition.
Nordic Space Ecosystem
The proposed second pad connects a commercial spaceport to a public requirement: keeping launch access available under Norwegian control.
Technology and Innovation
DTU's findings extend a familiar aviation and shipping problem into space, where the consequences depend on the receiver and the processing that follows it.
Market and Industry
Four mobile operators propose European control of key ground-network functions without investing directly in a constellation. An approaching spectrum decision gives that choice industrial significance.
