While private players in the USA have already made the transition to industrial space production, Europe is at a crucial point: there is not so much a lack of technological expertise and innovative strength, but often a lack of consistency throughout the entire product life cycle.

The development of satellites, launch systems or complex space infrastructure in Europe today requires the simultaneous fulfillment of two essential requirements: On the one hand, development cycles must be considerably shortened, while on the other, regulatory requirements and safety-related verification obligations are constantly increasing. Speed must not come at the expense of certifiability, traceability or interoperability. It is precisely in this area of tension that it will be decided whether Europe merely remains part of global value chains or influences industrial standards itself.
