Eurospace (ASD Eurospace)

Eurospace (ASD Eurospace) is a French-law 1901 nonprofit trade association founded in 1961 to represent Europe’s space industry. Its organization-level work gives the sector a collective voice with the European Space Agency, European Union institutions, national space agencies, and governments; supports space policy, research and technology, standards, compliance, and space-economy analysis; maintains working bodies and industry consensus; and publishes strategic recommendations and industry data. Its membership spans leading European space-system manufacturers, launch providers, operators, equipment makers, and engineering and software companies across 14 European countries, representing more than 90% of European space-systems sales and about 60% of sector employment. Eurospace is distinct from the ASD federation, member companies, agencies, universities, facilities, and events.
