As everything went according to schedule, it will be prepared for a short storage period including drying/purging operations beginning tomorrow until June 13 when the preparations for the mating with the dispenser will start. On June 2nd the NLS-1 and NLS-2 team arrived bringing with them the last of the NLS nanosatellites, see below. The NLS operations start today with unpacking of the S/C, GSE and office setup as well as first hardware tests. The ROCKOT launch vehicle is being processed according to schedule, which includes preparation of the upper stage and the fairing half shells in the cleanroom and check out of the booster stages. During the next days until June 13 there will be a reduced frequency of campaign reports, as mainly autonomous NLS-1/2 and MIMOSA spacecraft preparations will take place. ---- Jacques :-) Editor: www.spacepatches.info ------------------------------------------------------
