If he wants that, the best way would be to buy the T-space program.

Nope. That might perhaps be the best *technical* solution, if you're
willing to settle for an expendable (although for a high-flight-rate
system, you might not be willing). But he undoubtedly doesn't want to
spend the next five years filling out US ITAR paperwork, so buying a US
program is out of the question. It's better to start from scratch.
