European Union member states now have access to European-made "secure and encrypted" satellite communication, the bloc's Commissioner for Defence and Space announced on Tuesday.
"Last week we started GOVSATCOM operations," Andrius Kubilius said from the European Space Conference on Tuesday, referring to the European Union Governmental Satellite Communications programme. "That means all member states can now have access to sovereign satellite communication. Military and government. Secure and encrypted. Built in Europe, operated in Europe, under European control."
