Esa: Dorothee Bär Calls for More German Influence in the Space Agency

Space Minister Dorothee Bär wants to increase Germany's share of the space agency Esa. Europe should also become more independent with Germany's help in space.

Germany currently holds a 21 percent stake in the European Space Agency. Dorothee Bär now intends to significantly increase this stake. Given the global situation, the new Federal Minister for Space Policy believes that more investment in space is necessary.
