The main event of this last day before the launch was the Launch Readiness Review chaired by Arianespace: after status review of all involved entities, the go ahead was given without reservation for the launch of Sentinel-2C on VEGA flight VV24 with a lift-off at 01:50 UTC on 4/9.

At the launch pad, the last activities were performed: launcher final arming and flight closure of fairing tooling door. The satellite team took also advantage of the last slot of battery charge.

At Esoc, the Pre-Launch Briefing was held with the LEOP team and it was also the time for family pictures.
