The space domain is an increasingly important priority for defence organisations within countries that want to obtain sovereign capabilities in the areas of satellite communications (satcom), Earth observation (EO) and space domain awareness (SDA). This tracker follows the progress of major defence programmes and contracts within the space domain across 21 countries worldwide, focusing primarily on NATO and its partner countries.
