Recital 89

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(89) Coordination and regular exchanges between the Agency and the national competent authorities should be established to streamline the incident reporting in the space sector and achieve consistent approaches across the Union in relation to the handling of significant incidents affecting space infrastructure. The Union Space Resilience Network (EUSRN) should play an important role in building such consistency and ensuring coordination with the relevant structures established by the general cybersecurity and resilience frameworks laid down by Directives (EU) 2022/2555 and (EU) 2022/2557, in particular with the computer security incident response teams network and the European cyber crisis liaison organisation network (EU-CyCLONe) set-up under Directive (EU) 2022/2555, for instance providing situational updates or where significant incidents of space infrastructure may impact sectors and services falling in the scope of those Directives. In particular, the workings of the EUSRN would also be instrumental in steering proposals for solutions to streamline the cyber incident reporting across the space sector, to align to the simplification approach in the context of NIS 2, thereby paving the way for full convergence of the space and cyber sectors, for the benefit of the entire space communitydeleted

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(92 a) In order to strengthen the resilience of the Union’s space ecosystem, Union space operators should identify non-Union critical components and materials used throughout the lifecycle of their missions. Particular attention should be paid to dependencies involving raw materials classified as critical or strategic under Union legislation, as such dependencies expose space infrastructures to systemic risks. The systematic assessment of these dependencies, including those authorised under derogation, should enable the Union to identify appropriate remediation measures and, where relevant, to mobilise Union instruments supporting industrial diversification.

Recital 93 a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(93 a) There is growing evidence of the negative impacts of space activities on the climate and the ozone layer, deriving mainly from the release of soot, alumina, water vapor and NOx. While the space sector currently accounts for a small share of emissions compared with other sectors, the environmental impacts of a single launch are significantly higher than that of an aircraft flight, and these impacts are expected to become more substantial as space activities continue to grow. Scientists also increasingly point to other forms of environmental harm caused by space activities, including soil and air pollution generated during launches, and the pollution of the Pacific Ocean caused by spacecraft waste. There is a real risk that space activities undermine the recovery of the ozone layer observed since the adoption of the Montreal Protocol. Expanding space activities may also jeopardise the Union’s objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, as well as the targets set out in the Union’s zero-pollution strategy. It is therefore essential that space operators investigate both the negative climate-, ozone- and environment-related impacts of their activities and the means of mitigating them, for instance through the use of lower-emissions propellants and through adjustments to spacecraft design, material use and trajectories. The Commission should provide a trajectory for reducing emissions of the space sector that is compatible with the Union’s trajectory towards climate neutrality by 2050. The Commission should also support industry’s efforts by assessing the potential use of alternative propellants with lower climate and environmental footprint. Replacing propellants currently in use should additionally reduce hazards to human health, including carcinogenicity.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(97) To limit the environmental impact of space activities and to encourage their sustainability, the Commission should develop a detailed methodology for calculating the environmental footprint of space activities, based on scientifically sound assessment methods or international standards, such as those outlined in the Commission Recommendation on the use of Environmental Footprint methods, with a view to facilitating comparison among space systems.(97) To ensure clarity and consistency among existing space activities environmental impacts measurements, the Commission should develop a voluntary detailed methodology for calculating the environmental footprint of space activities, based on scientifically sound assessment methods or international standards. The detailed methodology for calculating the environmental footprint should be designed in such a way as to minimise technical complexity and compliance costs, avoiding duplication with other existing European or international frameworks and taking into account capacities, in particular of small and medium-sized enterprises. This methodology would facilitate comparisons among space systems, streamline calculation processes, reduce administrative burden, enhance clarity, and ensure consistent implementation across the sector.

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 113 a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(113 a) The technical requirements contained in the Annexes to this Regulation constitute essential elements of the safety and sustainability framework for space activities. The power to update those requirements in order to reflect technical progress and internationally recognised standards, and the power to establish the procedures governing real-time safety authority during launch operations, represent a power to supplement or amend legislative choices made by the legislator within the meaning of Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Such powers should accordingly be conferred on the Commission in the form of delegated acts, subject to the right of the European Parliament and of the Council to object within a period of two months of notification of each act. The use of implementing acts for the adoption of rules of equivalent normative weight would deprive the Parliament and the Council of that right of scrutiny. The Commission should be empowered to amend Annexes I, II and V in their entirety by delegated acts, in order to ensure that technical updates to those Annexes are coherent and systemic rather than piecemeal, and to avoid inconsistencies between individual requirements that share common technical foundations.

Or. en

Justification

The technical requirements in the Annexes represent the core safety substance of the Regulation. Keeping Parliament involved in their update — through delegated acts with parliamentary scrutiny rather than Commission implementing acts — is constitutionally appropriate: these are essential elements that Parliament should not be excluded from reviewing. This is a standard feature of major EU safety legislation.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(118 a) Whereas small and medium-sized enterprises, educational and research institutions constitute the backbone of innovation within the Union space ecosystem, driving the development of disruptive technologies and downstream applications, the introduction of new regulatory compliance requirements, even when facilitating the access to the wider EU market, is a challenge that is harder to complete than for the larger industrial prime contractors. To ensure a level playing field and to foster the competitiveness of the Union's space industrial base, it is necessary to establish dedicated support measures, that may take the form of an administrative structure within the Agency. This structure should provide specific, procedural assistance and regulatory guidance to qualified entities, thereby reducing the time-to-market for space assets and ensuring full compliance with Union resilience and sustainability goals without diverting critical resources from research and development activities. The target of such support should be micro and small enterprises within the meaning of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC, and educational and research institutions established in the Union.

15 (15)Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Text with EEA relevance (ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2012/1025/oj )

Justification

ECSS standards and the ESSB space debris series already provide internationally recognised technical frameworks for launch safety and debris mitigation. Explicitly acknowledging these as the technical reference for European standardisation requests avoids creating a parallel European standard that duplicates existing work and increases regulatory complexity for operators already designing to ECSS. Europe should build on its existing technical lead, not compete with it.

Recital 126 a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(126 a) Compliance with harmonised standards whose references have been published in the Official Journal should confer a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements. In parallel, operators may at any time demonstrate compliance through an alternative safety case. This dual-means framework reflects internationally recognised performance-based regulatory approaches to launch safety, under which operators are free to demonstrate an equivalent level of safety through documented risk analyses and mitigation measures, without being bound to a specific technical method.

Or. en

Justification

The two-route compliance architecture — harmonised standards conferring a presumption of conformity (Route A) and the alternative safety case demonstrating equivalent safety (Route B) — is the operational model underpinning Article 70b. Route A reduces compliance costs for operators designing to published European standards. Route B preserves flexibility for innovative systems whose technology predates or does not fit existing standards. Both routes lead to the same regulatory outcome.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(139) Moreover, this Regulation duly considers the length of the space mission preparation and the technical and complex constraints of the different milestones throughout the engineering and manufacturing stages of the spacecraft. A transitional period appears necessary to accommodate such constraints related to the technical adjustments required in the preparatory phases of a space mission, in the context of the critical design review stage.(139) Moreover, this Regulation duly considers the length of the space mission preparation and the technical and complex constraints of the different milestones throughout the engineering and manufacturing stages of the spacecraft. A transitional period appears necessary to accommodate such constraints related to the technical adjustments required in the preparatory phases of a space mission. The System Requirements Review constitutes the earliest formal milestone in the development cycle of a space asset at which all system-level functional and performance requirements have been reviewed and baselined, independently of the maturity of the detailed design. Using the completion of the System Requirements Review as the reference point for the transitional provision — and requiring that review to have been completed within 36 months of the entry into force of this Regulation — ensures that the new framework applies to programmes that are at a sufficiently early stage for compliance to be achieved without fundamental redesign, while protecting operators that have already concluded their systems engineering phase. Space assets benefiting from the transitional period should nonetheless comply with this Regulation from four years after its entry into force, regardless of their launch date.

Or. en

Justification

Clarifying that the transitional period references the SRR milestone rather than a fixed calendar date ensures that the transitional regime functions as intended regardless of delays in the Regulation's entry into force. Operators are treated consistently based on design maturity rather than on the accident of the legislative calendar.

Or. en

Justification

Replacing the fixed 'beyond GEO' exclusion with 'not operating in Earth orbit' better captures the intended scope exclusion (cislunar, interplanetary missions) while avoiding the technical ambiguity of 'further than GEO' for highly elliptical or transfer orbits. The revised formulation is technically precise and technologically neutral.

Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point 3

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(3) ‘constellation’ means a group of space objects consisting of at least 10 operational spacecraft, but not more than 99 of those spacecraft, working together for a common space mission, subject to a predefined orbital deployment plan;(3) ‘constellation’ means a group of space objects consisting of at least 2 operational spacecraft, working together for a common space mission, subject to an orbital deployment plan;

Or. en

Justification

The Commission's definition (10–99 satellites) is arbitrary and creates a gap: systems of 2–9 satellites operating interdependently under a shared deployment plan are functionally a constellation but would escape the definition. The revised definition captures all multi-satellite coordinated systems from 2 upwards while removing the artificial upper bound that fragmented the category into three disconnected regulatory tiers.

Justification

Removing the upper bound (999 satellites) from the mega-constellation definition eliminates the definitional gap for programmes exceeding 999 satellites, and is consistent with the deletion of the giga-constellation category. A mega-constellation is defined by what it is, not by an arbitrary upper cap.

(5) ‘giga constellation’ means a constellation that contains at least 1000 operational spacecraft;deleted

Or. en

Justification

The giga-constellation category (≥1000 satellites) creates a third regulatory tier with no established operational justification distinguishing it from mega-constellations. Its deletion simplifies the framework — very large deployment programmes above 999 satellites fall under the mega-constellation tier — without reducing any applicable obligation.
