Launch sovereignty is national security. Germany is considering building a dedicated launch facility for its armed forces to ensure military satellites can be deployed without having to compete for capacity with commercial payloads. Minister Boris Pistorius said that existing European launch capacity, including capacity available through existing facilities in Norway and the United Kingdom, would not be sufficient to meet future demand. Germany therefore needed to consider whether the Bundeswehr, the country’s armed forces, required guaranteed access to its own launch infrastructure. "That is why we are currently also considering a Bundeswehr-owned launch site, because our national security must not be stuck in the traffic jam of commercial launch queues," Pistorius said.
