The EU's space commissioner is making higher European launch rates a priority, pressing for more frequent launches from European soil and stronger autonomous access to space. The push reflects concern that Europe lags the US and China in launch cadence and depends on foreign providers. Industry observers are watching for concrete measures to support Arianespace and newer European launch firms.
