Abstract
This paper explores the European Union's pursuit of strategic autonomy in the space domain. It examines the EU Space Strategy for Security and Defence, analysing how Europe is developing independent space capabilities for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and secure communications. The study assesses the strategic implications of space militarisation, the role of EU institutions in space governance, and the challenges of coordinating space security policy across member states and with NATO.
