Welcome cocktail by Arianespace

Thursday, 18th of September

On the 18th of September Arianespace hosted a cocktail party to officially welcome the Sentinel-1D team to the European Spaceport. The venue took place at Creolia restaurant in Des Roches hotel.

This was the official welcome to the teams participating in Sentinel-1D / VA265 launch campaign.

DIFFERENT TEAMS BUILDING A FAMILY

A few members of each team involved in the launch joined the party, including Arianespace, ArianeGroup, the Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), Thales Alenia Space Italy (TASI) and the European Space Agency (ESA).

Arianespace wished us all every success for the launch campaign and eventually for the launch of Sentinel-1D on Ariane 62.

Thanks to Arianespace and all participants for a pleasant evening and positive atmosphere!
