Macron calls on Europe to launch its own crewed spaceflight
French President Emmanuel Macron called on Europe to build its own crewed spaceflight capabilities within ten years. He made the proposal on Thursday at the close of a two-day international space summit in Paris. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
Macron backed the creation of a broader European program that would also include a crewed flight with European astronauts. The plan fits into efforts to strengthen Europe's strategic and technological independence in the space industry. svet.sme.sk ↗
The summit also featured calls for increased European investment in space activities. According to the proposal presented, Europe would need to invest approximately ten billion euros over the next ten years, meaning roughly one billion euros annually. The goal is greater autonomy in the development and use of rockets, space systems and other infrastructure. zive.sk ↗
Macron's initiative also met with doubts about Europe's readiness to operate in space without the support of the United States. Several American companies, including SpaceX and Blue Origin, did not attend the event, having cancelled their participation.
In the coming years, Europe will thus have to decide on the scope of funding, technical arrangements and cooperation among individual countries. The intended outcome is to strengthen the continent's independence in spaceflight and create the conditions for future crewed missions. hnonline.sk ↗
