Germany Braces for Wars in Space With New Security Strategy

Germany passed its first national space security strategy, calling for the development of a “robust and deterrent” satellite infrastructure to guarantee orbital safety.

The new strategy laid out on Wednesday by Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s cabinet focuses on joint projects with allies, expanded satellite networks and the promotion of “responsible state behavior” in space. It comes on the heels of a September announcement that the defense ministry would invest €35 billion ($40.5 billion) in space projects by 2030.
