Today (10/07), an important milestone was achieved: A review called RAL (Revue Aptitude Lanceur/Launch Readiness Review) was successfully completed. An exhaustive status of the launcher, the two payloads and the launch base was presented to the Ariane technical committee and management which gave the formal authorisation to proceed with the launch campaign. The outcome of the RAL allows the following events to take place in the coming days:
- Monday 13/07 (L-1), Roll out of the launcher (VA-224) from BAF to the the launch pad (ELA-3)
- Tuesday 14/07 (L-1 bis), France National Day, Bank holiday for the launcher as well :-)
- Wednesday 15/07 (L0), Launch day. The launch window will start from 18:42 up to 19:19 Local Time (i.e. 23:42-00:19 Western Europe time).
