Answer to a written question – Unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) in the EU Space Law and detection capabilities – E-001572/2025(ASW)

Unidentified anomalous phenomena are not part of the scope of the ongoing work on the EU Space Act. This notwithstanding, the Commission is committed to enhancing the EU space situational awareness capabilities.

Efforts are continuously being made to strengthen the EU space surveillance and tracking capacities. This is crucial to elevating the EU situational awareness, improving the EU ability to detect, assess, and respond to various risks and threats in space. The Commission remains dedicated to collaborating with stakeholders to ensure the safety and security of the EU space environment.
