欧空局是一个空间科学研究与发展机构,作为管理一个实用型卫星通信系统的日常事务,则有必要成立一个新的组织。于是,欧洲邮电协会(CEPT)的17个成员国于1977年6月成立了一个“临时的欧洲通信卫星组织”。该组织的任务是发展标准地面站技术,建立业务监控系统,并创立一整套操作使用标准,以保证欧洲通信卫星系统有效地开展工作。 1982年5月14日谈判结束后,于7月15日开始在欧洲通信卫星组织条约上签字,到1983年上半年,25个潜在的成员国中, ESA is a space science research and development agency that, as part of the day-to-day management of a functional satellite communications system, establishes a new organization. As a result, the 17 member states of the European Postal and Telecommunications Association (CEPT) established a “temporary European Telecommunications Satellite Organization” in June 1977. The mission of the organization is to develop standard ground station technologies, establish a business monitoring system and create a complete set of operating standards to ensure that Eutelsat works effectively. After the negotiations ended on May 14, 1982, the European Telecommunications Satellite Organization Treaty was signed on July 15, and by the first half of 1983, of the 25 potential member states,
