This week, the Commercial Space Federation (CSF) filed comments with the European Commission outlining our concerns on the proposed EU Space Act (EUSA). CSF recognizes the Commission’s goals of developing a common rulebook across the Europe and promoting space sustainability, safety, and security. CSF member companies share many of these goals. However, the EUSA’s proposed approach will create prescriptive standards, practices, and regulations that will stifle innovation and growth of the space industry in Europe and limit non-EU based industry’s ability to compete in the European market. CSF urges the EU institutions to consider significant changes to the proposed legislation as the current form of the Act presents serious barriers to commercial space companies seeking to provide services to EU citizens and nations.
