Family picture (4)

A family picture with all parties involved in the POC was shot this morning (09/07) in front of the CDL-3 (Centre de Lancement).

This family picture regroups some of the people representing the following organisations and project teams:

• CNES, 
• Arianespace and their industrial contractors (Astrium Defense and Space, RUAG...),
• For MSG-4 : EUMETSAT, ESA, Thales Alenia Space,
• For StarOne C4: Embratel, Loral...

All efforts of this large family are converging for a VA-224 launch hopefully on 15/07/2015!

Today (01/06), a family picture with all teams working on MSG-4 a the Centre Spatial Guyanais was organised in the S1B high bay. This is the last opportunity to get together in front of the fully integrated MSG-4 before the next phase of the campaign that will take place in S5B for the fueling. Again, sorry for the few missing ones.

The evolution of the spacecraft since the family picture (2) taken on 20/05 can easily be seen. A great achievement of the ThalesAleniaSpace team!

Wednesday 20/05/15 a family picture was taken at 11:00 in the S1 High Bay with all teams in front of a "naked" spacecraft.  It is always difficult to get all the people present at the same time in a launch campaign, sorry for the few missing ones,  but one can see that the MSG-4 campaign is now running full speed.

A good opportunity to thank Paul, MTG Project Manager, before he returns to ESTEC, for the few days he spent with the MSG team and his warm encouragement and support in this campaign.
