Planck Flight Model #1 about to enter the FOCAL-5 test chamber at Centre Spatial de Liège in Belgium | |
During the last weekend of February, electrical maintenance with power break had to take place at the centre's test facility, meaning a temporary loss of airco and clean room environment guarantee. The spacecraft was therefore placed inside the FOCAL-5 test chamber to preserve it from risk of contamination.
