After disassembling from the Spacecraft, Solar Arrays (SA) stand now on a dedicated jig in the S1 clean room.
A Thales technician proceeds to the solar cells inspection to make sure that nothing has happened during transport. There are eight SAs to be inspected. This is an activity requiring a lot of concentration. The number of cells is very high and the defects sometimes very tiny therefore the operator must frequently take a rest to relieve eye fatigue. Note that the protective cover is still mounted on the panel behind the operator; this is the SEVIRI panel, with a larger rounded hole fitting to the aperture of the imager.
