(C14) Spacecraft inspection before mounting the Solar Array Panels

MSG-4 has been thoroughly inspected today (25/05) as the interior of the Spacecraft will not be accessible anymore as from tomorrow (26/05) when  the eight solar array panels will be mounted all around the spacecraft. Therefore, cleanliness, connectors, harness, flight and non flight items, thermal blankets (MLI)... have been checked before this integration activity can start.
 MSG-4 in S1B moved from horizontal to vertical position after inspection
This is the last chance to view the "naked" spacecraft before MSG-4 gets dressed to kill.
