(C28) L-9 MSG-4 on the CCU-2

Today (L-9; 26/06), MSG-4 was transferred as planned on the CCU-2 (Payload Container) in order to be transported by road to the BAF tomorrow.

As it can be noticed, we are still in the S5B fueling place and these pictures are among the last ones we can make of the spacecraft. When the two shells of the CCU-2 (Payload Container) will be closed tomorrow (27/06), MSG-4 will be transferred to BAF in order to be mated with StarOneC4 on the Ariane 5 launcher: the starting point of the "secret story" :-)

It is time for few people of the team to say good-bye to MSG-4.
