Summary
DescriptionRolling Biomass to the cleanroom ESA507406.jpg |
English: Following its arrival at Pariacabo harbour in Kourou, French Guiana, ESA’s Biomass satellite has been rolled out of its shipment container, which kept it protected throughout its two-week voyage from France across the Atlantic Ocean to South America. Now safely in the cleanroom at Europe’s Spaceport, it will be first thoroughly inspected to ensure that it is in good health, but first indications are that “Biomass is in great shape.” Over the course of the next weeks, the teams will prepare this cutting-edge Earth-observing satellite for liftoff on a Vega-C rocket at the end of April. |
