(C9) Ready for battery recondioning

As already mentioned in (C8), MICE #3 has now been installed. The output parameters (temperature, relative humidity and air flow rate) have been validated and alarms properly set. Everything is now in place for the battery reconditioning (charge/discharge). This test that will last four days is planned to start on next Monday (18/05) at the earliest as activity cannot be left unattended (no activities on Thursday 14/05, Ascension day, and on Sunday  17/05). The two batteries will be de-stored from the cold chamber and placed on the table opposite to the boas.

The erection of the RF (Radio Frequency) mast has now been completed and it has been entered in the S1B clean hall for tests planned in a very near future.
In parallel, a system tests to check that the Spacecraft is as "healthy" as when it was in Cannes is being prepared. So far, activities are running nominally :-)
