The additional inspection of the StarOneC4 spacecraft has taken place during the last week end and has fortunately revealed no issues. As a consequence, the upper composite (StarOneC4/Sylda/Fairing) has been re-assembled. Today (06/07), a last inspection of MSG-4 spacecraft took place in oder to prepare for the second re-encapsulation planned tomorrow (07/07). In parallel to this inspection, the two caps protecting the two axial thrusters from contamination during this short stand-by period have been removed.
Two axial thruster protective caps (Non Flight also called Red Tag items) before being stowed in the drawers of the Flight Non flight chest
A new detailed planning for this last bit of the campaign is being discussed; MSG-4 launch should be very soon back on track!
