Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz have agreed to enhance strategic cooperation in space activities following their visit to Andøya Space in Nordland. They established a joint working group to support this partnership, vital for European security, focusing on satellite communication and enhanced launch capabilities.

Germany will be Norway's primary defense partner. A historic rocket launch by Isar Aerospace is anticipated within a month, involving various satellites. The partnership also addresses the issue of space debris, with Norway implementing new space legislation and planning a report by 2027.
