Why Europe is fighting for independent access to the stars
In short: As the global commercial satellite market grows more competitive, the European Space Agency's upcoming ministerial meeting in Luxembourg will decide the future of Europe's launch capabilities.
The video examines the strategic necessity for Europe to maintain its leadership in the commercial satellite launch market through independent access to space. A central focus is the future of Europe's Launcher Programmes and the potential unveiling of the new Ariane 6 design.
If ministers from the 20 ESA Member States and Canada grant final approval for its development during the meeting on 2 December, the Ariane 6 is expected to begin launching from Kourou at the start of the next decade.
