The Copernicus Sentinel-1D satellite is now safe and cozy inside Ariane 6's fairing! 🧸
The blue tiles inside the fairing work as acoustic protection dampening the noise created during launch.
Liftoff is scheduled for 4 November at 22:02 CET (21:02 GMT, 18:02 Kourou time).

This is what building a rocket looks like 🏗️🧱
Step by step, we transferred the core stage and the boosters to the launch zone, where they will be connected to each other.
Next up: encapsulate the Copernicus Sentinel-1D, transfer and connect the upper stage and fairing.
