Satellite navigation and Earth Observation programmes have quickly grown from military niche systems to large scale societal dependencies. One could say that this is not a negative aspect at all, however, as for many of the current innovative technologies, society is ready to use but not ready to understand the principles behind it and the associated vulnerabilities and risks to which they expose when they become directly dependent of them. This paper aims at presenting the current level of involvement of satellite navigation and Earth Observation services in different societal settings, going from day to day experiences up to applications in critical infrastructures. The paper addresses also the possible impact that HILF (High Impact Low Frequency) events from space would have on such systems. By that, this paper contributes to the ongoing discussions on the importance of space technologies for societal benefit.
