Wichtige Ankündigung des EU-Kommissars für Verteidigung und Raumfahrt auf dem #ESC2026:

"Die EU-Mitgliedstaaten können bereits sichere Satellitenkommunikation für Regierungsdienste nutzen, die vom europäischen #GOVSATCOM bereitgestellt wird. #IRIS² wird ab 2029 voll einsatzfähig sein."

Important announcement at #ESC2026

EU Member States already can use secure satellite communications for governmental services provided by the European #GOVSATCOM, while #IRIS² will be fully operational from 2029 🇪🇺

Meeting #ITU Secretary General Doreen Bogdan-Martin in #Davos.

Radio frequencies interfering (RFI) is a serious challenge for 🇪🇺 economies.

The EU is developing secure satelite communications like #IRIS² - to address RFI.

We discussed how more attention to RFI shall be dedicated by ITU as well.

ESA advances ERS program, marking shift toward dual-use and defense Milan — The European Space Agency has refined its plan for the European Resilience from Space (ERS) program, outlining a €1 billion ($1.15 billion) framework that more directly ties Earth observation, telecommunications and navigation to Europe’s growing defense and security needs. The updated proposal will go before member states for approval at the Nov. 26–27 […] The post ESA advances ERS program, marking shift toward dual-use and defense appeared first on SpaceNews.

#IRIS² will end Starlink monopoly

Europe's Iris2 Satellite Network: A Bold Step Toward Space Autonomy Europe is set to bolster its strategic independence in satellite-based communication with the ambitious Iris2 project.

In addition to some private providers like #Eutelsatt, the European Union has been working for some time on a #Starlink alternative that, unlike Starlink, combines quantum communication and quantum cryptography in #Iris².

Dear @ec.europa.eu, @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, @andriuskubilius.ec.europa.eu, @esa.int, @euspa.bsky.social.

How we wish we had #IRIS² already. Like yesterday.

Sincerely, all of Europe.

Europe’s Starlink competitor is go “Strategic autonomy”

Yes, very, very belatedly Europeans have realised that.

We have #IRIS², but as a project it is way behind. Signed two months ago...
