Media coming to ESOC for Swarm launch

Over 40 local and international media are expected at ESOC in Darmstadt today to cover Swarm launch. Jonathan Amos of the BBC is one of them. (Now checking if sr. management approves of his fabulous hashtag ‘#spacerats’ – Ed.)

Heading for Darmstadt and @esaoperations to cover the #SwarmMission launch – These satellites look like #spacerats https://t.co/GOhY7PWz4D

And then later – after a successful launch!

The @ESA DG Jean-Jacques Dordain doesn't really buy my #spacerats image of the #SwarmMission. But we agree we both like #ratatouille
