Space has become a domain of strategic and military competition. While space capacities have become strategically important to Europe’s civil and commercial objectives, and are critical to ensure vital functions in military operations, the easier access to space, the growing number of space debris in orbit and the existence of counterspace capabilities and actions introduce increasing risks and threats to space assets. This implies the necessity to protect European space assets in their outer space environment.
