EU approves satellite plan acceleration
The European Commission announced a plan to strengthen the sovereign satellite constellation and accelerate the deployment of its services by 2029, with the aim of improving communication capabilities and enhancing data security. This will be achieved through the "IRIS²" project, which calls for the addition of 66 satellites, bringing the total to 348 satellites at a cost exceeding 45.6 billion euros. These expansions will require additional investments from the European budget and member states, with the goal of reducing reliance on non-European services and establishing a strategic communication infrastructure.
