Luxembourg’s burgeoning space sector is attracting interest from the US Space Force, with the Luxeosys Earth observation satellite, space situational awareness and satellite communications seen as ways for the grand duchy to step up support for its allies.
Kelli L. Seybolt, US deputy undersecretary of the Air Force’s international affairs office, visited Luxembourg on Thursday and Friday to meet with government officials and private space sector players. Space Force is a branch of the Air Force.
“I don’t envy the problem,” she said speaking to Delano about Luxembourg struggling to meet its Nato commitments. Alliance members in 2014 pledged to spend 2% of GDP on their militaries, a challenge for the grand duchy’s small army of 400 active soldiers.
