Background image description
There’s no safety on Earth without safety in space. We work on solutions for secure satellite communication, that bring a safer and more resilient society. Transport safety on air, land and at sea, utilities and critical infrastructure protection, civil protection and border control: we develop, launch and show safety and security solutions for user communities that are ‘made in’ Europe and Canada.
Space Systems for Safety and Security (4S)
Security in space and on Earth are inextricably linked. The deployment of advanced satellite systems is crucial for resilient and secure connectivity on Earth.
ESA`s ARTES 4.0 strategic programme line 'Space Systems for Safety & Security' works on innovative and secure satellite communication systems, and their integration into public and private terrestrial networks to enhance safety, resilience and security within society. We launch, conduct and co-finance services, systems, technologies and product development for safety and security systems.
