A long test day begins

Together with DLR, the team will execute the procedures, record the test data and analyse them afterwards. We expect a long day. Not far from the satellite, separated only by a moveable wall, our colleagues from Yuzhny are making progress in checking out components of the launcher’s upper stage. All this intensifies the sensation of an imminent launch. However, this will only take place after 25 more days of fascinating work.
