Twenty astronauts led by Thomas Pesquet transformed the Grand Palais into the epicenter of the first International Space Summit in Paris. The event brought together key figures from the space sector in one of the most iconic locations in the French capital.

President Emmanuel Macron advocated during the summit for an "accelerated reconquest" and European independence in the space sector. The speech reinforced France's ambition to establish itself as a leading power in the space domain.

France positioned itself as a dominant power among the Artemis missions, the International Space Station (ISS), and the decisive influence of the European Space Agency (ESA). The summit served as a platform to demonstrate France's commitment to the future of European space exploration.
