INTRODUCTION

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.

The importance of space activities to the European Union is highlighted in the European Commission’s Communication "Towards a space strategy for the European Union that benefits its citizens"1 issued in 2011. The EU’s space strategy has a range of key objectives: to promote technological and scientific progress; to stimulate industrial innovation and competitiveness; to contribute to economic growth and create jobs; to ensure that European citizens fully benefit from European space applications; and to strengthen Europe’s role in space at an international level.

On 28 February 2013, the Commission also issued a Communication on "EU Space Industrial Policy: Releasing the Potential for Growth in the Space Sector"2 proposing actions to increase skills levels in industry, to support research and innovation, to ensure the EU's independence in space, to make finance and investment more readily available, and to reshape the EU's legislative framework to make it a driver for the industry's competitiveness.

The two flagship EU space programmes currently under way are Galileo, a global navigation satellite system, and Copernicus, the Earth observation programme formerly known as Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES). The EU is also supporting space research as part of the seventh framework programme and its successor Horizon 2020.

This survey builds on the research discussed in the 2012 Flash Eurobarometer 355 on Space Activities3 that aimed to gain insight into Europeans' awareness and expectations of space-based services and their opinion of the role that the EU should have in developing space activities and space exploration. 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 European Commission’s Directorate-General Enterprise and Industry commissioned this survey to measure the attitudes of the European public towards space activities in the European Union and in Croatia. This Eurobarometer was carried out by TNS Opinion & Social between 25 May and 9 June 2013.

Some 27,680 Europeans aged 15 or over were interviewed face-to-face in the 27 Member States of the EU and Croatia by the interviewers of the TNS Opinion & Social network (the interviewers asked the questions in the respondents' home). The methodology used is that of the Standard Eurobarometer of the Directorate-General Communication of the European Commission (“Strategy, Corporate Communication Actions and Eurobarometer” Unit). A technical note concerning the interviews conducted by the institutes of the TNS Opinion & Social network is annexed to this report. It specifies the method used for these interviews as well as the confidence intervals4.

The general analysis and the socio-demographic analyses are based on the average results in the 27 Member States and Croatia. This average is weighted so that it reflects the actual population of each Member State. The report covers the 28 EU Member States. However, because the fieldwork took place before the official date of Croatia's accession to the European Union on 1 July 2013, results are presented for the EU 27 and Croatia.

                                                            4 The results tables are included in the annex. It should be noted that the total of the percentages in the tables of this report may exceed 100% when the respondent was able to provide several answers to the same question.

MAIN FINDINGS

Expected priorities of Europeans in 20 years’ time

Europeans think that employment (47%) and health (42%) should be the main priorities of the EU in 20 years’ time.

Health, employment and education are linked as priority EU policy areas in 20 years’ time – Europeans who mention one of these as a priority are also more likely to mention the other two. Employment and the economy are also linked in the same way.

Energy (37%) and the environment (33%) are the areas where Europeans are most likely to foresee space activities playing an important role in 20 years’ time.

When comparing the results of the two questions it appears that the environment and security are the two domains where similar numbers of respondents think both that this should be a priority for the EU in 20 years’ time and that space derived technologies and services will play a role in it.

There are some clear patterns in the answers provided based on education levels. The longer respondents remained in education the more likely they are to say that the environment and energy should be the main priorities of the EU in 20 years' time. Similarly, the higher respondents’ education level, the more likely they are to see a role for space technologies and services in the areas of the environment, energy, transport and communications.

Impact of space activities on societal aspects

Almost six out of ten Europeans think that investing in human space exploration can lead to medical progress (57%).

More than seven out of ten Europeans think space activities can have a positive impact on environmental protection and more efficient agricultural activities (72%), predicting weather factors (74%) and understanding climate change (73%).

Almost six out of ten Europeans (58%) think that space activities contribute to job creation in the EU. A majority of respondents in all Member States – except in Slovakia where respondents are divided – think investing in space activities will contribute to job creation in the EU.

More than half of Europeans would be interested in using information derived from observing the Earth from space to help plan travel and outdoor activities (55%).

Almost three-quarters of Europeans think that including subjects linked to space activities in educational materials would encourage students to choose careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (73%), and that teaching subjects linked to space activities at school can help children to better imagine the society of the future (71%).

Almost half of all Europeans (48%), a relative majority, would be ready to use automated vehicles guided by satellite systems in 20 years’ time.

Future sub-orbital flights are expected by Europeans to be most useful for travelling faster between two points (34%) and for transporting urgent or valuable goods to distant destinations (30%).

More than one-third of Europeans (37%) say that the future combination of observations from satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles will improve security in the EU, while 25% think this will be a threat to privacy, and 20% think that both of these statements are true.

Europeans and space threats

Three Europeans out of ten (30%) are concerned about large asteroids and comets hitting Earth, and 35% are concerned about the disruption of space-based services caused by collisions with other satellites or space debris.

More than six Europeans out of ten (62%) agree that space technologies have a role to play in avoiding threats like asteroids, comets, and space debris collisions.

Europeans and space exploration

There is no clear consensus among Europeans about how important it is for the EU to invest further in space exploration: 47% say it is important, while 46% say it is not important.

Europeans who think that further investment in space exploration is important highlight the following reasons: to develop and test new technologies (63%) and to make unexpected scientific discoveries (53%). These represent 29% and 24% of all the respondents respectively.

Europeans who do not think further investment in space exploration is important are most likely to say this because they think there are other more pressing issues (72%). This represents a third of all the respondents (33%). This result might be linked to the current overall socio-economic context.

There is a broad variation in opinions about what should be the main priorities of the EU in 20 years’ time in different countries. In eleven countries employment is the most mentioned priority: Spain (68%), Portugal (60%), France (59%), Greece, Italy (both 54%), Slovakia (53%), Ireland (50%), Czech Republic (49%), Poland (47%), Belgium (46%) and Austria (44%). Hungary (24%) and Latvia (25%) are the countries where employment was least mentioned as probable priority of the EU in 20 years' time.

Health should be the main priority according to respondents in nine countries: Cyprus (73%), Romania (70%), Malta (60%), Bulgaria (56%), Luxembourg (50%), the UK (47%), Slovenia (44%), the Netherlands (42%) and Estonia (39%). Although health is not the main priority, it is also mentioned by at least half of all respondents in Denmark (54%) and Greece (50%). However, health is least mentioned by respondents in Hungary (32%) and Germany, Latvia, Italy, Belgium and Croatia (all 34%).

Respondents in Lithuania (45%) and Latvia (35%) are most likely to say that the economy should be one of the main priorities in 20 years’ time. However across the EU the economy is most likely to be mentioned by respondents in Greece (49%) and it is also mentioned by at least four in ten respondents in Hungary (42%), Cyprus (41%) and Croatia (40%). In contrast, 19% of respondents in Malta and Luxembourg mention the economy.

Across the EU just under one-third of respondents mention the environment, but the proportion is much higher in Sweden (69%) and Denmark (60%) where this is the most mentioned option. In a sharp contrast, only 14% of respondents in Portugal and 19% in Spain mention the environment.

Respondents in Spain and Germany are the most likely to mention education (both 42 %), while only 11% of respondents in Hungary and 14% in Poland do so. However, respondents in Hungary are the most likely to mention energy as a priority (48%), followed by those in Germany (43%) and Malta (42%). In both Hungary and Germany energy is also the most mentioned priority, while it is least mentioned by respondents in Spain (8%).

Almost one in four respondents in Finland and the Czech Republic think that food production quality and distribution should be the main priority of the EU in 20 years’ time (both 38%). This compares with 13% in Malta and Italy and 14% in Spain. Respondents in Finland are also the most likely in the EU to mention security (41%), followed by those in Cyprus (33%) and the Netherlands (32%). At the other end of the scale 10% of respondents in Ireland, and 11% in Spain mention security.

Human rights are most likely to be mentioned as a main priority by respondents in Sweden (46%), followed by those in Cyprus (33%). They are least likely to be mentioned by respondents in Latvia and Slovakia (both 13%). Respondents in the UK are the most likely to mention housing (28%), particularly compared to those in Bulgaria (3%). Nearly a quarter of respondents in Slovenia and Portugal mention social rights (both 24%), compared to 8% in the UK.

Transport is most likely to be mentioned as a main priority by respondents in Austria (14%), compared to 2% in Cyprus. Communication is mentioned by 13% respondents in Bulgaria, but by just 3% in Finland, France, Portugal and Spain. Overall fewer than 5% of respondents in any country mention leisure activities as a main priority.

(MAX.4 ANSWERS)

Socio-demographic analysis reveals few differences in priorities across age and gender lines. Women are slightly more likely than men to mention health (45% vs. 39%), while men are slightly more likely to mention energy (31% vs. 25%). Respondents aged 15-24 are the least likely to say that health should be one of the main priorities of the EU in 20 years’ time (35% vs. 42% of those aged between 25 and 39 and 46% of those aged 55+). They are also less likely than those aged 40+ to mention food production quality and distribution (18% vs. 24 of those aged 55+ and 25% of those aged 40-54). Respondents aged 15-24 are, on the other hand, the most likely to mention education, particularly when compared to those aged 55+ (35% vs. 27%).

SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 403 “Europeans’ attitudes to space activities”

11  

Education levels provide more variation. The longer respondents remained in education, the more likely they are to say that the environment and energy should be the main priorities of the EU in 20 years’ time. For example, 24% of those who completed their education aged 15 or younger mention the environment compared to 39% of those with the highest education levels.

Respondents with the lowest education levels are also the least likely to mention food production quality and distribution and education (19%), but they are the most likely to mention employment (53%).

The unemployed and house persons are significantly more likely than other occupation groups to mention employment (59% and 53%) as one of the main priorities. House persons and retired persons are the most likely to mention health (both 48%). The self-employed, on the other hand, are more likely than other groups to mention the economy (41%). Managers are significantly more likely than other groups to mention the environment (43%) and energy (38%).

The results also show some interesting links between priorities. For instance, health, employment and education appear to be linked as priorities for respondents. Respondents who mention education as a priority are among the most likely to also mention employment (48%) and health (44%). Those who mention health are also the most likely to mention education (32%) and are also more likely to mention employment (48%). Similarly, those who mention employment as a priority are also among the most likely to mention health (43%) and education (31%).

Employment and the economy are also linked as priorities. Those who mention the economy as a priority are the most likely to mention employment (52%). The reverse pattern also applies.

In 17 EU countries, and in Croatia, energy is the area where respondents are most likely to think that space technologies and space-based services will have an important role. In fact, at least half of all respondents in Denmark (56%), Finland, Sweden (both 53%), Cyprus, the Netherlands (both 51%) and Luxembourg (50%) are convinced of this. This compares to 22% of respondents in Portugal.

The environment is the most mentioned area in Greece (48%), Slovakia (43%) and Belgium (40%), but it is also widely mentioned by respondents in Denmark (51%), Sweden and Cyprus (both 47%). Respondents in Lithuania are the least likely to think that space technologies and services and activities will play an important role in the environment in 20 years’ time (19%).

In seven countries communication is the area where respondents are most likely to think that space technologies and services will have an important role. This is particularly the case amongst respondents in Sweden (57%) and Bulgaria (45%). Across the EU communication is also mentioned by a notable proportion of respondents in Finland (47%), Denmark (45%) and the Netherlands (44%). In contrast, only 17% of respondents in Portugal and 19% in Slovakia mention communication.

Romania is the only country where respondents are most likely to say that space technologies and services will have an important role in health in 20 years’ time (42%). However, health is also mentioned by 36% of respondents in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. In comparison only 13% of respondents in Finland and Sweden and 14% in Lithuania mention health.

Respondents in Austria are more likely than those in other countries to mention transport (42%) as an area where space technologies and services can provide benefit in 20 years' time, followed by respondents in the Czech Republic (34%) and Sweden and Germany (both 30%). In contrast just 6% of respondents in Hungary mention transport. Respondents in Austria are also more likely than those in other countries to mention the economy (40%), compared to 12% in Finland.

Respondents in Portugal (35%) are the most likely to say that employment is an area where space technologies and services will have an important role in 20 years’ time, particularly compared to those in Estonia (9%). Respondents in the Czech Republic are the most likely to mention security (36%), compared to 14% in France and Spain. Respondents in Cyprus (25%) and the UK (24%) are the most likely to mention education, while those in the Netherlands are the most likely to mention food production quality and distribution (25%).

Respondents in the UK are the most likely to say that space technologies and services will have an important role in 20 years’ time in housing (13%), while in Portugal respondents are the most likely to say this about human rights (14%) and social rights (16%). Respondents in Austria are the most likely to see an important role for space technologies and services in leisure activities (13%).

(MULTIPLE ANSWERS POSSIBLE)

Socio-demographic analysis illustrates that men are more likely than women to see a role for space technologies and services in 20 years' time in energy (41% vs. 33%), communications (35% vs. 27%) and transport (26% vs. 21%). There is, however, only one notable age related difference: those aged 55+ are less likely than younger respondents to see an important role for space technologies and services in energy in 20 years’ time (32% vs. 37% of the respondents aged 15-24 and 40% of the respondents aged 25-54).

There are some clear patterns in the answers provided based on education levels. The higher the respondents’ education level, the more likely they are to see a role for space technologies and services in the areas of the environment, energy, transport and communications. For example 26% of those who completed education prior to age 16 mention energy, compared to 43% of those who completed their education aged 20+.

Managers are the most likely to mention the environment (40%) and communication (41%).

(MULTIPLE ANSWERS POSSIBLE)

As for the previous question, these results also show some interesting links between areas. For example, energy and the environment are linked priorities. Those who mention the environment as an area where space technologies and services will have a role in 20 years’ time are also the most likely to mention energy (54%).

Attitudinal variables show that respondents who think that space technologies and space-based services will play an important role in energy in 20 years’ time11 are among the most likely to think investing in space can be used to predict prevailing winds, periods of sunshine or the availability of water. It is also the case of those who think that, in 20 years' time, space technologies and space-based services will play an important role in communication, transports or on environment12.

Respondents who think that space technologies and space-based services will play an important role in the environment in 20 years’ time are among the most likely to think that space technologies and space-based services can contribute to better protection of the environment and more efficient agricultural activities (83%), as do those who think that in 20 years’ time space-based services will play an important role in communication (84%).

Socio-demographic analysis shows no notable differences between men and women, although those aged 15-24 are more likely than the oldest respondents to think that including these subjects would encourage more students to choose careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (77% vs. 71%).

The longer respondents remained in education, the more likely they are to think including subjects linked to space activities in educational materials would encourage more students to choose careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. More than three-quarters (77%) of those with the highest education levels think this way, compared to 67% of those who completed their education aged 15 or younger.

Socio-demographic analysis does not reveal any notable differences between age or gender groups. Those who completed education aged 15 or younger are less likely than those with higher education levels to say teaching subjects linked to space activities at school can help children to better imagine the society of the future (66% vs. 71% of those who stopped education at the age of 16–19 and 73% of those whose education ended at the age of 20 or older).

Respondents who think that space technologies and space-based services will play an important role in transport in 20 years’ time are among the most likely to be ready to use automated vehicles guided by satellite-based navigation systems in 20 years’ time. This is also the case of respondents who think that space technologies and space-based services will play an important role in communication and energy in 20 years’ time.

Indeed, those who think that space technologies will play an important role in transport, communication, or energy in 20 years’ time are the most likely to say that they would be ready to use automated vehicles guided by satellite-based navigation systems in the future (59%, 57% and 57%, respectively). Furthermore, independently of the fields for which they think space technologies will play an important role in 20 years' time, an absolute majority of respondents mention that they would be ready to use automated vehicles guided by satellite-based navigation systems in the future.

A review of the socio-demographic variables shows that men are more likely than women to mention travelling faster from one point to another (39% vs. 29%), and developing new tourism opportunities (24% vs. 18%). Respondents aged 55+ are less likely than those in younger age groups to mention any of the three options. For instance, 27% mention travelling faster from one point to another, compared to 41% of those aged 15-24.

The longer respondents remained in education, the more likely they are to mention travelling faster between two points: 26% of those with the lowest education levels mention this reason, compared to 38% of those with the highest education levels.

Nearly half of the respondents who think that space technologies and space-based services will play an important role in transport in 20 years’ time15 (45%) say that suborbital space flight could be useful to travel faster from one point to another.

It is also worth noting that a third of the respondents who think that space technologies and space-based services will play an important role in tourism in 20 years’ time16 say that suborbital space flight could be useful to develop new opportunities for tourism.

Respondents in Cyprus (40%), Austria and Germany (both 36%), Slovenia (34%) and Latvia (27%) are most likely to say that use of these technologies will both improve security and be a threat to privacy.

There are few socio-demographic differences to note among respondents. Men are more likely than women to say that using observations from satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles and monitoring communications will improve security in the EU (41% vs. 32%). The oldest respondents are the least likely to think that use of these technologies will improve security in the EU (33% of the respondents aged 55+ vs. 37% of those aged 40-54 and 40% of those aged 15-39), as are those with the lowest education levels (28% of the respondents who stopped their education before the age of 16 vs. 41% of those who studied until the age of 20 or later).

Socio-demographic analysis shows that men are more likely than women to think there is an important role for space technologies in reducing the threat from asteroids, comet impacts or space debris (65% vs. 59%). Respondents younger than 55 years of age are also more likely to think this way than those aged 55+ (64% of the respondents aged 40-54 and 69% of the respondents aged 15-24 vs. 54%).

63  

Respondents who are concerned about large asteroids or comets hitting Earth21 are much more likely to think that there is an important role for space technologies in reducing this threat and the threat of space debris (81% vs. 55% of those who are not concerned about asteroids/comets hitting Earth). This is also the case for those who are concerned about the disruption of space-based services, such as weather predictions, telecommunications or radio navigation by satellite, caused by collisions between satellites22 (81% vs. 54% of those who are not concerned).

                                                            21 QF13 How concerned are you about big asteroids and comets hitting Earth? 22 QF14 How concerned are you about disruptions of space-based services, such as weather predictions, telecommunications or radio-navigation by satellite, caused by collisions between satellites or between satellites and pieces of rockets or other satellites (so-called space debris)?

There are few socio-demographic differences to note. Men are more likely than women to say it is important for the EU to invest further in space exploration to develop and test new technologies (66% vs. 59%). Respondents aged 55+ are the most likely to mention promoting peaceful and international cooperation, particularly when compared to those aged 15-24 (33% vs. 22%).

Respondents with the lowest education levels are the least likely to mention making unexpected scientific discoveries (47% vs. 54% of the respondents whose education ended at the age of 20 or later), developing and testing new technologies (53% vs. 68% of the respondents whose education ended at 20 or later) and contributing to economic development (40% vs. 47% of the respondents whose education ended at 20 or later). However, those who completed their education aged 20+ are the least likely to mention inspiring the young (25% vs. 32% who finished their education before the age of 16).

Managers (73%) and the self-employed (68%) are more likely than other occupation groups (50%-63%) to mention developing and testing new technologies as reasons for the EU to invest further in space exploration.

CONCLUSIONS The results discussed in this Special Eurobarometer illustrate that Europeans are generally positive about the role space technologies and space-derived services has today and will have on future society and in helping face societal challenges. Energy (37%), the environment (33%) and communication (31%) are the areas where Europeans are most likely to foresee space activities playing an important role in 20 years’ time. The environment and security are the two domains where similar numbers of respondents think both that this should be a priority for the EU in 20 years’ time and that space derived technologies and services will play a role. Many Europeans clearly see the benefits that space activities can offer. There are also similarities in national results which illustrate the consensus among European citizens on several space issues. Indeed, for most of the questions results are rather similar from one EU Member State to another, and the EU average usually reflects opinion in all countries. It is worth saying that in many cases Eurobarometer surveys show more differences of opinions between countries compared to this survey. A majority of respondents in all Member States – except in Slovakia where respondents are evenly divided – think investing in space activities will contribute to job creation in the EU. More than seven out of ten Europeans think space activities can have a positive impact on environmental protection and more efficient agricultural activities, and understanding climate change. As another example, at least six out of ten respondents in all countries think that space technologies and services can be used to predict weather factors such as winds, sunshine and water availability. Additionally, at least six out of ten respondents in each country think including subjects linked to space activities in educational materials would encourage more students to choose careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

There are more variations between opinions in different countries about threats from space and about space exploration. There is no clear consensus among Europeans about the importance of the EU investing further in space exploration: 47% say it is important, while 46% say it is not important. It is however worth noting that for those who do not think further investment in space exploration is important, it is most likely to be a matter of priorities. The current poor economic and social climate in the EU may be the main reason why Europeans are divided on this, as the vast majority of those who think it is not important to invest further say that this is because there “are other pressing issues”.

There are also some consistent demographic trends in the opinions of Europeans about space-derived technologies and services. Education seems to be one of the main socio-demographic drivers of the results of the survey. Indeed, respondents with higher education levels are generally much more positive about the role and impact of space activities. Men are also generally more positive about the role and impact of space activities, as are younger respondents. For example, a majority of men (53%), respondents aged 15-24 (54%) and respondents with higher education backgrounds (53%) think that it is important for the EU to invest further in space exploration. Among occupation categories, students, managers and white-collar workers are more likely to be positive about the role and impact of space activities.

SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 403 Space derived activities

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Between the 24 May and 9 June 2013, TNS opinion & social, a consortium created between TNS plc and TNS opinion, carried out the wave 79.4 of the EUROBAROMETER survey, on request of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General for Communication, “Strategy, Corporate Communication Actions and Eurobarometer” Unit. The Special EUROBAROMETER 403 survey is part of wave 79.4 and covers the population of the respective nationalities of the European Union Member States, resident in each of the Member States and aged 15 years and over. The Special EUROBAROMETER 403 survey has also been conducted in Croatia where the survey covers the national population of citizens and the population of citizens of all the European Union Member States that are residents in this country and have a sufficient command of the national languages to answer the questionnaire. The basic sample design applied in all states is a multi-stage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points was drawn with probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density.

In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points, a starting address was drawn, at random. Further addresses (every Nth address) were selected by standard "random route" procedures, from the initial address. In each household, the respondent was drawn, at random (following the "closest birthday rule"). All interviews were conducted face-to-face in people's homes and in the appropriate national language. As far as the data capture is concerned, CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) was used in those countries where this technique was available. For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. For all countries surveyed, a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. In all countries, gender, age, region and size of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages), TNS Opinion & Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national statistic offices. The total population figures for input in this post-weighting procedure are listed below.
