Space Policy Documents

 

The following list contains a number of documents and contributions that were considered significant to European space policy formation during the period in which the European Space Policy Workshops took place. The first three documents together represent the content of the 2007 first European Space Policy.

N.B. Several documents that were online during the Workshops are no longer linked due to removal of these texts from the online source, which was usually governmental.
