Charting the Skies: Germany’s Military Space Command with Major General Traut

In this episode from Prague, host Torsten Kriening sits down with Major General Michael Traut, Commander of the German Space Command, to discuss the rapid evolution of Germany's military space operations over the past three years.

From becoming an independent command within the Air Force to participating in international initiatives like the US-led Olympic Defender, Germany's approach to space has dramatically shifted in response to new geopolitical challenges.

Learn about the integration of commercial space assets, the emphasis on resilience, and the necessity of offensive and defensive capabilities in space. Major General Michael Traut also highlights the importance of a new German space architecture, focusing on real-time tactical operations, and discusses the broader implications for NATO and EU defense collaborations.
