Sentinel-1D Launch Team pictures

Thursday, 30th of October

On Thursday 30th of October, we had the last session of family pictures. This time it was with the spacecraft teams (ESA, Thales Alenia Space Italy) and launcher teams (Arianespace, ArianeGroup). The pictures were taken in the staircase at the entrance of the Launch Centre (CDL, “Centre De Lancement”).

Just the day before we had welcome a few colleagues and guests arriving to CSG to see the launch, and they also joined the group photos:

  • Salvador, Malcolm and Olivier from the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), and
  • Andrea from the ESA Centre for Earth Observation (ESRIN).
