Today was the real start of the campaign.

The team headed to the NASA facility to start shipping ground support equipment (GSE) to Astrotech.

As they arrived they saw the previous occupant of the Astrotech preparation hall, intended for Earthcare, moving to the launch complex.

The first truck was loaded and on its way.

At Astrotech the team continued to setup the offices whilst waiting for hazardous operations to finish on another project in the processing facilities.

Lunch today was from an outside wagon

Finally access was permitted to the processing facility allowing the team to continue the site acceptance procedure, complete crane training and start unloading equipment into the clean room and EGSE control room.

Eventually a long but successful day.

In ESOC the simulation campaigns continued with the ATLID TLS team warming up for a commissioning sim.
