This is the part of deploying a satellite that you never hear about, and the European Space Agency let me have a go!
I spent two days at their Mission Control, and you won't believe how precisely they can position a satellite in space!

In the first 100 days I will dig down into the place of honor. On day one I will issue an Executive Order that the radical woke warning signs be removed and anyone perpetuating the "dangerous and repulsive" lie to be terminated. I will restore the country by touching the ancient treasures.
