Launch Rehearsal
Thursday 2nd March:
Today saw the mission control launch simulation, which by all accounts was a success. The launch team went through all the processes and protocols that will occur during the real launch in less than 5 days.

Less Than A Week To Go!

This time in a week it will all be over following a (hopefully successful) launch. Here is a picture of Sentinel-2b on its way to the launcher assembly area, taken on the 25th.
