IRIS² (Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnectivity and Security by Satellite) is a planned multi-orbit satellite internet constellation to be deployed by the European Union by 2027.[1][2][3][4]
It is intended to provide service to governmental agencies as well as commercial service to private entities. Its conception is a direct response to an increasing number of large satellite internet constellations outside of the control of the EU, such as Starlink, OneWeb or the forthcoming Kuiper project.[4] The total cost of the programme is estimated at €6 billion,[5][6][7][8][9] to which the European Union itself will contribute €2.4 billion from 2022 until 2027.[10][11]
In addition to its use for communications, there are also plans to use IRIS² for space surveillance, and to detect high-altitude spy balloons.[12]
IRIS² is part of an overall EU space strategy that will include the forthcoming EU Space Strategy for Security and Defence.[13]
History
The project was first announced by the Council of the EU in November 2022.[1] Шаблон:As of, the project is still in its planning stages. In January 2024, it was reported European space giants were putting the final touches on a proposal for the sovereign broadband constellation amid the looming mid-February deadline to submit their best and final offer to the European Commission.[14] The constellation is expected to be launched by the SpaceX Falcon 9 launchers or Ariane 6 if available by that time.
