European’s attitudes to space activities

3

Europeans think that:

employment (47%) and health (42%) should be the main priorities of the EU in 20 years’ time, while energy (37%) and the environment (33%) are the areas whereEuropeans are most likely to foresee spaceactivities playing an important role in 20 years’ time.

Health, employment and education are

linked as priority EU policy areas in 20

years’ time – Europeans who mention one of these as a priority are also morelikely to mention the other two. Employment and the economy are also linked inthe same way.

When comparing the results of the two questions it appears that the

environment and security are the two domains where similar numbers of respondents thinkboth that this should be a priority for the EU in 20 years’ time and that

Space derived technologies and services will play a role in it.

Expected priorities of Europeans in 20 years’ time

Almost 6 out of 10 Europeans think that investing in human space exploration can lead to medical progress (57%).

More than 7 out of 10 Europeans think space activities can have a positive impact on

environmental protection and more efficient agriculturalactivities (72%), predicting weather factors (74%) and understanding climate change (73%).

Almost 6 out of 10 Europeans (58%) think that space activities contribute

to job creation in the EU. (except in Slovakia where respondents are divided)

More than half of Europeans would be interested in using information derived from observing the Earth from space to help plan travel and outdoor activities (55%).

Impact of space activities on societal aspects

Almost three-quarters of Europeans think that including subjects linked to space activities in educational materials would encourage students to choose careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (73%), and that teaching subjects linked to space activities at school can help children to better imagine the society of the future (71%).

Almost half of all Europeans (48%), a relative majority, would be ready to use

automated vehicles guided by satellite systems in 20 years’ time.

Future sub-orbital flights are expected by Europeans to be most useful for

travelling faster between two points (34%) and for transporting urgent or valuable goods to distant destinations (30%).

More than one-third of Europeans (37%) say that the future combination of observations from satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles will improve security in the EU, while 25% think this will be a threat to privacy, and 20% think that both of these statements are true.

Impact of space activities on societal aspects

Europeans and space threats

3 Europeans out of 10 (30%) are concerned about large asteroids

and comets hitting Earth, and 35% are

concerned about the disruption of space-

based services caused by collisions with other

satellites or space debris.

More than 6 Europeans out of 10 (62%) agree

that space technologies have a role to play in

avoiding threatslike asteroids, comets,

and space debris collisions.

There is no clear consensus among Europeans about how important it is for the EU to invest further in space exploration: 47% say it is important, while 46% say it is not important.

Europeans who think that further investment in space exploration is important highlight the following reasons: to develop and test new technologies (63%) and to make unexpected scientific discoveries (53%). These represent 29% and 24 of all the respondents respectively.

Europeans who do not think further investment in space exploration is important are most likely to say this because they think there are other more pressing issues (72%). This represents a third of all the respondents (33%). This result might be linked to the current overall socio-economic context.

Questions for the stakeholders

Output:

1. Mobilising ‘demand’ of services built on a stack ofpublic and freely available data.

2. Stepping up any necessary regulation and interoperability standards.

3. Identify and promote education and training in secondary school and university on specific spacetechnology.

4. Encourage research and development efforts on

• Real time satellite image for security, emergency and monitoring;

Remote observation of the subsoil for sub-landinfrastructure register;

Satellite monitoring of Cultural heritage.
