This morning we completed our pre-fuelling activities on the satellite by installing the last arming plugs.
The last activity still pending is the disconnection of the satellite test cables, an activity for which the AIT team awaited the outcome of our fuelling key point with the Launcher Authorities.
The purpose of this fuelling key point is to ensure that, before we start irreversible operations on the satellite, we have a clear status on the launcher activities and the planning up to the day of launch. Unfortunately, today’s meeting was not yet conclusive, in view of this it was decided to postpone the fuelling operations at this moment.
