Interesting that they mention observation stations on the far side of the Moon, when these satellites would presumably disrupt certain observations. Obviously the level of interference will be much much less than on Earth or even Earth orbit. But for really pristine observation it seems the Lagrange points are better candidates.
In any case pretty excited about this. Having it run by the EU will hopefully make it more of an equal access than if it was run by the US or China.
