The ArianeGroup fueling team have done an amazing job testing both satellites and filling the OSC with 268 bar of nitrogen for flight. The CSC was pressurised to MEOP to allow leak testing to be performed.

During the activities what we could see from the control room looked like a SWOT team had raided the facilities.

Leak testing has its challenges…..especially wearing a bullet proof vest and helmet!

Also earlier in the day the two hydrazine drums were delivered to the facility for acclimatization in preparation for fueling.
