Sentinel-1D logo signatures on Ariane 6 fairing

Monday, 27th of October

Last Monday we had the opportunity to sign the Ariane 6 fairing logo.

Prior to the launch, it is customary for the team to sign the Payload Fairing and include a personal message to the spacecraft, symbolising goodwill and future success, and/or a message to family and friends, who are loved and missed and so much supportive to all of us.

This gesture was carried out by the team members present on this precise day, and also on behalf of the entire launch campaign team.
