Those technical supports were coordinated by the CNES' PASO orbital systems architecture department in Toulouse, France. The CNES' scheduling and technical supports to the French science community allowed it to be the biggest community to answer the call for tenders M3 (key proponents on more than 1/3 of the proposals and co-proponents on many others).
