Summary/Abstract: Although the EU’s flagship space systems are civilian in nature, they are increasingly being used for crisis management or foreign missions and operations. The pursuit of strategic autonomy of the Union, that is the ability to react independently to certain threats, will therefore depend on the development of space technologies. However, further enhancing the EU’s capabilities requires a precise definition of the links between the space sector and security. It also will be crucial for Polish enterprises operating in the space industry that the EU designates priority investment areas where they can benefit.
