The article is about the ESA though, not the EU. UK is still a member of ESA. Not everyone in the ESA is in the EU (Norway, Switzerland and the UK are non-EU but full members of ESA, Canada is an associate member) and some EU countries aren’t in ESA (Slovenia, Slovakia, Lithuania and Latvia are full members of the EU but only associate members of the ESA; Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Malta are full members of the EU but not even associate members of ESA)
