Radio test by the HyEnD Group

Radio test by the HyEnD Group
All of the rocket systems are checked one last time before launch. The HyEnD team travelled the roughly three kilometres to Radar Hill to test the radio connection. The nose cone is placed over the telemetry unit – where it will be during the flight –before the test commences. Then the unit transmits radio signals to ground control situated at the rocket launch site in Esrange (visible on the left in the background).
