Germany’s new military strategy signals counterspace and Satcom intent, but leaves a thin satellite roadmap as Europe’s space ef Germany’s first Military Strategy to 2039 flags threats and pushes for conventional leadership in Europe, yet its stated space emphasis is limited—raising questions about follow-through. The broader European push toward counterspace and satellite communications investments risks exacerbating duplication and fragmentation across national and EU programmes.

The push for cislunar security: absent monitoring and defense concepts amid a growing “fortress moon” race Two analyses argue that U.S. planning for cislunar space lacks a coherent, actionable approach to monitor, administer and defend the region. They frame an off-Earth analog to Strait of Hormuz-type disruption risk, with military conflict dynamics extending to the Moon–Earth operating environment.
