As part of the Commission’s work on space weather, a new study has been published examining the potential impacts of an extreme space weather event on various sectors across the EU. The study assesses the risks while considering a forward-looking scenario: a fully operational and advanced space weat As part of the Commission’s work on space weather, a new study has been published examining the potential impacts of an extreme space weather event on various sectors across the EU. The study assesses the risks while considering a forward-looking scenario: a fully operational and advanced space weather service in 2040. It concludes that while further investments are necessary, strengthening space weather protection could provide substantial benefits to society as a whole. Read the study here. The study is an ESA deliverable as part of its Contribution Agreement with the Commission in the implementation of the SWE subcomponent of the EU Space Programme. It was implemented under a consortium led by PWC. Background SWE is a subcomponent of the Space Situational Awareness (SSA) component of the EU Space Programme. The future SWE service will help domains potentially affected by space weather events to better prepare for and mitigate adverse effects .

IRIS² is now committed to deployment with a materially larger, defence-oriented segment, so SpaceRISE members (and their tier-1s) will open subcontract packages for satellite payloads, crypto/secure ground segment, terminals and launch services. Relevant to space and secure-comms suppliers — payload, optical/RF terminal, encryption and ground-station firms in EU/EEA — rather than to anyone bidding the prime role. Do: Approach SpaceRISE consortium members' procurement/supply-chain leads now with a qualified capability dossier for satellite subsystems, secure ground segment or user terminals ahead of the 2029 first-launch schedule.
