Sentinel-1D Family pictures

Friday, 26th of September

The week of the 22th of September we enjoyed the presence of our dear colleagues from ESA Sentinel-1 team:

  • Ainhoa, Dirk, Ignacio, Jelle, Stefan, Tobias and Vasco from the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), and
  • Tom from the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC).

With most of the ESA team in Kourou, it was an ideal chance to gather in the clean room to take some family pictures in front of Sentinel-1D.

We also made some group photos in front of the spacecraft preparation facilities and at the entrance near the Ariane 5 rocket mock-up.
