The ER-BAR has been the most wanted aircraft by the Proba-3 teams! The 2 spacecraft and all the hardware needed for the launch campaign have finally departed Liege on Monday 04 Nov afternoon. The venting valves are opened so the air at sea level pressure in the spacecraft containers can go out when ascending to high altitude, while the air (properly filtered!) will come back in during the descent.

The Liege team says goodbye to Proba-3 while the Chennai team is resting before the next leg of the long journey to the launch base.
