Defence of Space Assets (DoSA)

The objective of this project is to increase the EU’s operational efficiency in the space domain by making the best use of current and future space assets through cross-cutting space functions of reactive access to space and in-space manoeuvrability, space resilience and training for space military operations.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project Defence in Space aims at increasing space operational efficiency. It will define essential blocks which will enhance safety and resilience of space assets and maximise safe use of space, in complementarity to the core functions. Accessing and using space in a safe, secure and stable environment requires a space security and defence strategy, as well as a coordinated and organised approach by the EU and its Member States.

OBJECTIVES/PRODUCTS

The objective of this project is to increase the EU’s operational efficiency in the space domain by making the best use of current and future space assets, through cross-cutting space functions of training for space military operations (identified as pillar 1), reactive access to space and in-space maneuverability (pillar 2) and space resilience (pillar 3).
