After the adoption of the EU Space Programme Regulation in May 2021, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) has been transformed into the EUSPA, taking over also responsibilities for Copernicus markets uptake. 

EUSPA is the operational European Union Agency for the Space Programme. It adopts a user-oriented approach to promote sustainable growth and to improve the security and safety of the European Union.

The Agency promotes space-based scientific and technical progress and supports the competitiveness and innovative capacity of space sector industries within the Union, with a particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups.
