#EU Deploys New Government #Satcom Program in #Sovereignty Push

The EU "has switched on parts of its homegrown secure #satellite communications network for the first time," reports Bloomberg, calling it part of a €10.6 billion push to "wean itself off US support amid growing tensions." SpaceNews notes the new gov program #GOVSATCOM pools capacity from eight already on-oribit satellites from #France , #Spain , #Italy , #Greece & #Luxembourg — both national & commercial.

The EU's own satellite communication system is now operational.

Eight satellites from five different member states are currently being pooled as part of GOVSATCOM.

These efforts are all part of plans to reduce the EU's dependence on foreign space services.

European Commission weighs inviting Ukraine to Europe’s GOVSATCOM platform

Govsatcom, Eutelsat, Iris2: Ukraine seeks European alternatives to Starlink.

The American Starlink satellite network is currently essential to the Ukrainian military forces on the ground. The threat to cut off Kyiv's access to the Starlink satellite network could have far-reaching consequences for the war.

To avoid this, Ukrainian authorities are seeking alternatives from the EU.
