Today started early for some of the team who went to the LLC for the early start of the dress rehearsal. This concluded late afternoon where the team at VSFB shut down the satellite and the team at ESOC continued with a simulation as if the satellite had launched. A very successful day for all.

The team at the Launch and Landing Control (LLC) at the base.

 

And earlier at Darmstadt

Thomas also started his return travels today carrying the samples needed to prove the cleanliness of the purge lines.
