@androcat @EUCommission as far as I can tell, the this agency will be administrative only, as in administering countries access to satellites. Not getting them up there.
It will use bandwidth from satellites in the IRIS2 program.
So any technicalities about satellites and such have to be gotten from IRIS2 and they have not begun to do anything about producing satellites. I don't know about designing though.
