PARIS (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron threw his weight behind plans for a unified European satellite manufacturing champion and called for accelerated deployment of satellites, as he set out a new space strategy at the Paris Airshow on Friday.
Speaking after France moved to take control of satellite operator Eutelsat, Macron called for accelerated efforts across the board from launch to satellite manufacturing and Starlink-like services as he declared space the next “gauge of power”.
