Europe’s Space Ambitions Depend on One Thing: Cybersecurity

When the EU Space Act landed in June 2025, it didn’t just outline regulations. It sent a clear message: European space systems must be secure, resilient, and self-reliant. Cybersecurity, once treated as a separate add-on, is now baked into the mission architecture, and that's long overdue. The Act isn’t light reading. It's a dense, policy-heavy…

E2EQSS: Building Resilient Infrastructure for the Quantum Era

Quantum computing no longer belongs to the realm of theoretical physics. Its real-world implications are approaching, and with them, the potential collapse of current encryption standards. In response, the European Union has launched its Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), preparing a continent-wide transition to quantum-resilient security systems. This is not just a precaution,…
