5 August – Last functional check

Everybody was back to work on Monday early morning, each one at their own pace.

The day was dedicated to the last functional checks on the satellite: the dry-run of the launch countdown procedure. All the automated scripts that will be executed to configure the satellite on the launch pad during the final chronology have been executed. The launch abort and the battery charge procedures were also verified. Each step was run, optimized when possible and verified again.

During all day, the satellite real time telemetry was transmitted to Esoc to support the formal Listen-In Test, also in preparation of what will happen on the launch day.

Another successful day, well done everyone!
