MSG-4 view through the SEVIRI opening in the Solat Array
… a naked MSG-4 quietly waiting in Thales Cannes (TAS-F) clean room for its turn to be groomed and eventually launched.
Today, we have reached this point where the spacecraft is about to leave Thales Cannes and to hopefully take up duty in orbit in few weeks time. The purpose of this private blog is to report on this launch campaign and to share this adventure with colleagues and families not present in French Guyana.
For those interested to get a flavour of what happened to MSG-4 since 2012 in Thales Cannes, few pictures have been gathered below to show the (re)-integration of the SEVIRI instrument and the system (re)-test till the spacecraft was eventually declared "ready" to be sent to the Kourou Space Center in French Guyana...
