This is the part of deploying a satellite that you never hear about, and the European Space Agency let me have a go!

I spent two days at their Mission Control, and you won't believe how precisely they can position a satellite in space!
More Amazing Than the Launch‽ (at the European Space Agency!)
The European Space Agency invited me to their mission control centre in Germany to find out what it takes to be a Satellite Operations Engineer working on their new Earth observation satellite, BIOMASS.
