At the Liège airport the custom container carrying the Planck spacecraft is in place inside the large Antonov cargo plane, seen here with its nose still open (around 2 A.M.). Later Planck was flown to Rochambeau airport, French Guiana, with one intermediate stop in Cape Verde for additional re-fuelling of the airplane.
