Metop-B to be handed over

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Daniel

Handover to Eumetsat is set to take place at 18:00 CEST today. At 14:45 today, the extended mission operations 'team of teams' at ESA gathered in the Main Control Room to witness the addition of the successful launch and LEOP for Metop-B to the history board running across the top of the back wall.
