Sentinel-5p

Knock, knock team! According to my schedule, today I want to get out this container!

It's been a long journey, my team's a bit sleep deprived but I'm happy to say I'm at the MIK! Let's get my launch campaign really started!

No rest for my fantastic team, immediately into action preparing me for the next part of my journey by train. Plesetsk, I'm getting closer!

Touchdown and hello Russia!

The cargo is in and now it's my turn. Well done to my Spacecraft Team. Farewell UK, Russia here I come!

My next mode of transport has arrived!

A postcard from yesterday. Me (we don't want to talk about body weight ;-) but some +700kg) being lifted onto the truck.

Today I start my travel. 1st part Stevenage to Stansted. Wish me luck!

My advanced team have arrived in Plesetsk and are busy performing the facility review. I've heard my launch tower has been painted!

I will wait until the site acceptance is approved and then travel on the 30th Aug.

Good news at last my launch team advanced party leaves this week, 23rd Aug, for Plesetsk.

Currently I have a launch date of 21st September 2017

Since my last tweet i have been woken up and had to do some maintenance exercises but I am now back in storage still awaiting my launcher.

I am currently in storage in Airbus DS Stevenage awaiting the Russian Rocket launcher
