Special Eurobarometer 403:Europeans' attitudes to space activities

Space technologies and space-based services are an important part of the daily lives of European citizens in a wide range of areas, including transport, agriculture, weather forecasting and security, to name just a few. They have also an important role in the implementation of a range of European Union policies, from environmental management, through transport and navigation, to co-ordinating responses to natural disasters. This survey aimed to gain insight into Europeans' awareness and expectations of space-based activities and services. The survey has also a prospective dimension since it asked respondents to think 20 years ahead when considering several issues and a range of space activities, and the impact they may have on society. The main objectives of this survey are to: - Explore the opinions of Europeans about the role space-based services and technologies will have in improving their daily lives in 20 years’ time; - Assess the perceptions of Europeans of how space-based services and technologies can assist in addressing societal challenges; - Appraise how concerned Europeans are about space threats; - Consider Europeans’ expectations about the future of space exploration. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
