I appreciate enormously your sense of humour and penchant for off-beat subjects and comments, but...
Not really. The Eurostar family of satellites –as pictured, in its latest, most advanced version– started with Matra Marconi in the 80s. Of course the European defence and space industry went through so many mergers, acquisitions and even demergers that the whole Eurostar series of satellite buses ended up in Airbus’ hands, but saying that those satellites are part of the legacy of Focke-Wulf... is a bit inaccurate, to put it very elegantly.
By the same token you could say that satellite is full of Messerschmitt, or Junkers, or Heinkel. Which it is not.
Some guys in Stevenage may want to have a word with you, by the way.

Well, if we want to trace the complex descent of Focke-Wulf:
Focke-Wulf
VFW
ERNO VFW Fokker
MBB
DASA
Astrium/EADS
Airbus Space & Defence
Airbus Safran launchers (a JV)
So.....

That’s more like it! The Ariane project had considerable German input from the very beginning.
