France to unveil new space defence strategy
France was yesterday set to outline a new strategy for defence in space after President Emmanuel Macron announced the creation of a French space force command to deal with emerging threats to its interests in orbit. Defence Minister Florence Parly was due to give more details on the strategy in a keynote speech at the Lyon Mont-Verdun military base starting from 1000 GMT. The announcement comes as China, Russia and the United States all jostle for an increased strategic presence in space.
