Aggregation of European institutional launch service levels

In order to keep the European autonomous access to space, it is essential for Europe to maintain its global leadership throughout the entire value chain of the space sector. Nonetheless, the current worldwide scenario is being severely challenged by an aggressive competition and asymmetries in access to the market: in particular, the size of captive markets and pricing policies are different from one space power to the other, resulting in an unbearable competitive disadvantage for the European launcher industry.

The Eurospace position on the aggregation of all European institutional launch services to counter such distortions and move towards a level-playing field to the benefit of Europe developed launchers is available here.
