ESA and the EU update their Security of Information Agreement
Keeping information secure in today’s interconnected world is becoming ever more important. ESA and the EU have amended their security of information agreement, reinforcing their trusted partnership.
ESA and the EU have long worked together to ensure that European citizens benefit from space. For example, ESA has designed and developed many elements of the EU’s space programme. These include the Galileo navigation system that provides a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control, as well as the Copernicus Earth observation satellites that help people to analyse climate change and how to mitigate its effects. ESA will also play a crucial role in the EU’s Iris2 programme for secure connectivity.
