Sentinel-2B being prepared to move for fuelling

The Sentinel-2B satellite is now ready to be fuelled and has been moved to a different part of the launch site for this hazardous task. This involved lifting the satellite off its trolley and placing it within a ‘coffre charge utlie’ – a kind of fairing that protects it during transport across Kourou site. It was then taken by truck from the S1B cleanroom across the site to the S3B cleanroom.
