Europe tightens space-systems execution—from defense milsatcom schedules to direct-to-device ground infrastructure—while securin A set of Europe-focused moves highlights the region’s effort to counter SpaceX’s growing gravity in satellite networks. Germany’s defense space buildup is anchored on schedule adherence toward 2027, even as optical and NTN-related ground segments face launch delays, and ESA-backed security work targets verification gaps in scaling multi-orbit systems.
