EUROCKOT's MOM Daily No. 5

Cosmodrome Plesetsk, June 1 - 3 (L-29 to L-27): The Most spacecraft
has been performing its last tests yesterday and today, e.g. tests of
the telemetry and telecommand channels. As everything went according
to schedule, it will be prepared for a short storage period including
drying/purging operations beginning tomorrow until June 13 when the
preparations for the mating with the dispenser will start. On June
2nd the NLS-1 and NLS-2 team arrived bringing with them the last of
the NLS nanosatellites, see below. The NLS operations start today
with unpacking of the S/C, GSE and office setup as well as first
hardware tests. The ROCKOT launch vehicle is being processed
according to schedule, which includes preparation of the upper stage
and the fairing half shells in the cleanroom and check out of the
booster stages. During the next days until June 13 there will be a
reduced frequency of campaign reports, as mainly autonomous NLS-1/2
and MIMOSA spacecraft preparations will take place.
