The European Space Intelligence Report is a weekly briefing on what happened in the European space sector, from major contracts and funding rounds to launch milestones, policy changes and defence programmes. Every development is rated for importance and linked to its source, so you can see what mattered this week without reading everything. Download the latest report below, or browse earlier issues.
The weekly reports
What each report covers
Each report tracks the developments shaping Europe’s space industry, including:
- Contracts and orders for flagship programmes such as Galileo and IRIS²
- Funding, investment and financing for European space companies
- Launch activity, spaceport progress and launcher development
- Satellite manufacturing, operations and new infrastructure
- Space regulation and policy, including EU, national and ESA activity
- Defence and security space programmes, including NATO procurement
- Open tenders and deadlines for suppliers
Developments are grouped by importance, then by region, with Europe-wide items first and countries listed alphabetically.
How developments are rated
Each item is rated from 1 to 5 for its potential impact on the European space sector. Level 5 marks developments that reshape funding, programmes, policy or market structure. Level 4 covers material contracts, investments and capability milestones. Level 3 covers relevant tenders, qualification milestones and partnerships, and Level 2 covers smaller awards and early signals. Level 1 items are monitoring only and are normally left out.
Each entry also carries a status tag, such as Signed, Announced, Proposed or Tender open. This shows at a glance whether something is a finished deal, a plan or an open opportunity.
Who the report is for
The report is written for people who need to follow European space without tracking dozens of sources: industry professionals, suppliers watching for tenders, investors, analysts, policymakers and journalists. Sources link to primary records where they are available, so you can check any item yourself.
