As part of the preparations for launch the Herschel spacecraft is readied to be manoeuvred onto the Ariane 5 ECA launch adapter in order to perform a 'fit check'.
The spacecraft will be installed on the launch adapter once all of the pre-launch checks have been completed in the S1B clean room, and prior to moving the spacecraft to S5B for hydrazine fuelling.
