Back Rosetta integrated with ACU

Rosetta integrated with ACU

12 February 2004

A new milestone was reached on Tuesday 10 February when the Rosetta spacecraft was moved from the fuelling hall and integrated with the mechanical and electrical launcher interfaces on the ACU (Adapteur de Charge Utile), which is part of the launcher.

The spacecraft has since had a day of electrical health tests and will, by the end of the week, be placed in a transport container for its transport to the BAF (Bâtiment d'Assemblage Finale) where the launcher is waiting.
