Following Sentinel-2C being encapsulated within the Vega rocket fairing, the team got to write personal messages and sign the big sticker which had been applied to the outside of the fairing.

Everyone present was really proud to participate to this traditional ceremony, without forgetting to sign for the team members that had already done their stint at the launch campaign and already returned home.

The Sentinel-2C upper composite is now ready to roll out to the launch pad.

With the satellite safe within the fairing and the sticker signed, the team could enjoy last weekend and head out into the tropical forest and more.
