Space: the new frontier for transatlantic cooperation

Despite existing cooperation, fragmented efforts between the United States and the European Union are limiting space security and sustainability. A stronger, unified approach is needed to tackle these growing challenges, as climate change, and emerging security threats are reshaping the world faster than ever. As these challenges grow, space is no longer just about exploration — it has become a critical arena for global security, economic stability and environmental protection. From satellite-based climate monitoring to planetary defense and cybersecurity, space technology plays an essential role in safeguarding the future. However, no single country can effectively manage these risks alone. Strengthening collaboration between the U.S. and the E.U. is essential to ensure that space remains a secure, accessible and well-regulated domain.
