doing this in an industrial landscape that, at least in Europe, was not very much aligned in the same way, presents some challenges in terms of adaptation from an industrial perspective.
Absolutely.
And this is
not only true for space industry but for the overall defense industry at the moment and potentially even beyond if we think about global supply chains now being struck by the crisis in Iran and the lack of basically oil products out here in Europe we don't even know if we're going to be able to fly out in the upcoming summer and this is even more true if you think about an industry
that historically has been intrinsically global with supply chains really stretching across oceans in terms of critical components, as I mentioned earlier, but even specific solutions.
This presents some challenges at the end of the day.
How do you balance this?
I think on one end, what we're seeing is a significant push towards higher level of independency because the current geopolitical tensions are bringing also some opportunities rather than some complications, but also keeping, I would say,
a balanced way between how we mean sovereignty at European level and a national level.
This is another critical element that is sometimes overlooked.
Many countries are pushing in terms of new capabilities, in terms of constellations.
How we're going to be able to integrate this in a federated way, if you want, is what's going to really make the difference between successful and competitive solutions versus just replication over replication.
I would have to say in the short term, it's definitely going to be launch capabilities.
We're in a moment where, again, SpaceX performs 50% of global launches and puts on orbit 80% of global mass.
If we think that Starship is somehow going to be successful,
This is only going to get even more skewed.
So if we really want to be there in terms of capabilities, launch is the next key thing.
Because if you think about manufacturing or operations, at the end of the day, operations many companies can do, even if they cannot even manufacture a satellite.
They typically buy from established players, Boeing, Lockheed, Thales Aerospace, Airbus.
You name it.
