In January 2019, Europe's space policy will find at a pivotal point, with a new EU Space Programme on the horizon, the 2021-2027 MFF yet to be adopted, a strategic European Defence Fund in debate and the ESA "Space 19 Plus" to be decided in late 2019, while it will be confronted with multiple key questions as:

• What new developments for EU Space Strategy in the next decade?
• Which "Space 19 Plus" for ESA from 2019 onwards?
• Which European "New space" projects?
• Is Europe ready for off-earth manufacturing, robotic exploration and human spaceflight?
• Is a "European Space Strategy in Earth and in Space Defence and Security" feasible?
