European Space Intelligence Report: 26 Oct - 1 Nov 2026

This week's key takeaways:

Movement in big European programs - Galileo G2 adding four additional satellites, and MDA received an order for IRIS antennas, as Indra and Eutelsat report IRIS2 backlogs.

Capital is flowing into capacity - Bank financing, Argotec’s €50m and SaxaVord’s £30m are backing new facilities in Turin, Luxembourg and Glasgow.

Defence demand is steady - Spain’s SPAINSAT NG-III financing, Avio's €55 million in ASTER order, Astroscale’s £15m LEDA mission and NATO’s RFI and Atalanti tender all point the same way.

Commercial sensors are entering space surveillance - The EU SST tender, EUSPA’s traffic platform, and Vyoma’s Flamingo-1 all bring private data providers in.

Regulation is moving but unsettled - The EU Space Act, 2 GHz licensing, and Sweden’s licensing reform remain stuck in the draft phase.
