Thread: Germany establishes new military space command

STUTTGART, Germany — The German military has announced the creation of a separate command dedicated to space, becoming the latest of a handful of nations prioritizing more resources and missions among the stars.

The Ministry of Defence introduced the new space command in a July 13 ceremony at the German Space Situational Awareness Centre in Uedem, located in the country’s North Rhine-Westphalia region.

Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer provided a keynote speech for the event.

The military is “responding to the increasing significance of space for our state’s ability to function, the prosperity of our population, and the increasing dependency of the armed forces on space-supported data, services and products,” the ministry said in a statement.

Presumably a budget item has included in their NATO account. But will they hit their agreed GDP %?

A German military space command?
