Germany to Develop €12 Billion Military Satellite Constellation by 2032
The German military, the Bundeswehr, is set to develop its own satellite constellation. The project, estimated to cost around €12 billion, is driven by Defense Minister Boris Pistorius' push for enhanced space capabilities.
Germany has previously backed the European IRIS2 scheme. However, its new plans could have implications for this Europe-wide project. The IRIS2 constellation, due by the end of this decade, is designed for secure communications.
The German satellite constellation is planned for Mid-Earth orbit and expected to be operational by 2032. This move signals Germany's commitment to strengthening its independent space capabilities.
The German military's satellite constellation project, with an estimated cost of €12 billion, is a significant investment in the country's space capabilities. The project's timeline and potential impact on Europe-wide initiatives remain to be seen.
