On Friday, the day started with a “family picture” of the Sentinel-2C on VV24 launch team gathering all actors on site – a team of teams!

Following the successful Dress Rehearsal performed on Thursday, we held the Satellite Launch Readiness Review (LRR). This formal check-point confirmed that both Sentinel-2C Satellite and Ground Segment are GREEN for the launch. The status will be reported during the Launcher LRR on Monday, and that will be the last formal decision point to authorize the launch.

A slot for battery charge was exploited and allowed to get very close to the targeted end of charge voltage for the launch. Next slot will be on Monday.

The last “CSG” tour for the satellite team was organized and was again very much appreciated.

The next 2 days – weekend – will be fully dedicated to RELAXING before D0 (day zero), knowing that between D-1 and D0 there is a D-1.1 which is Monday… yes, it is confusing.

Just check the countdown in the left side bar!
