EU approves boost for sovereign satellite program
The European Union has announced plans to strengthen its sovereign satellite constellation and accelerate the launch of its services to 2029 instead of 2030. This move aims to address increasing security challenges and enhance communication capabilities. The "IRIS 2" project will require adding 66 satellites to reach a total constellation of 348, with an additional budget allocated for the next six years to finance and invest in the initiative. Valued at over 45.6 billion euros, the project aims to build a strategic European infrastructure and reduce reliance on the United States for communication services.
