EUSPA evolves to meet growing operational demands across the EU Space Programme

EUSPA is advancing an evolution of its organisational structure to reinforce its growing operational responsibilities and strengthen the delivery of critical governmental services, notably Galileo’s Public Regulated Service (PRS) Initial Operational Capability.

At its June 2026 meeting, the Administrative Board approved a proposal from the Executive Director to adjust EUSPA’s organisation. The change ensures that the Agency can continue to meet all operational demands from 1 July 2026.

EUSPA’s current organisation was approved by the Administrative Board in October 2021 and updated in March 2023 with the inclusion of the Accounting Officer function. Since then, the Agency has continuously adapted its internal structures to improve effectiveness, efficiency and resilience.

As EUSPA’s role in the delivery of governmental services (GOVSATCOM Hub has been operated since January 2026) continues to expand, the Agency is preparing for a new operational phase. With Galileo PRS Initial Operational Capability approaching, EUSPA will provide secure operational services to governmental, security and defence users on a 24/7 basis. Additional governmental services are expected to follow in the future.
