Today (16/06) the Ariane 5 launcher for the Flight VA-224 has been transferred for the Launcher Integration building (BIL) to the Final Assembly Building (BAF). In this last facility, the two spacecrafts StarOneC4 and MSG-4 will be mated on the launcher respectively in upper and lower positions. Our colleague Christian witnessed this event and forwarded the following pictures to the MSG-4 teams:
