Die Vorbereitungen zum Start am 27.3. laufen weiter nach Plan. Die Satelliten sind inzwischen vorbereitet und betankt.
Die Sous-Rakete ist fertig montiert. Die Fregat ist auch vorbereitet (betankt? weiss nich).
Galileo FOC FM-4 (Anastasia)
Parallel launcher and payload preparations put Soyuz on track for its March 27 Arianespace mission with two Galileo navigation spacecraft
Some of Arianespace Flight VS11’s parallel preparations are highlighted in the photos above. At left, Soyuz’ Block I third stage is mated to the launcher at the Spaceport’s MIK integration building; while the fourth Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellite – FM4 – is loaded with on-board propellant inside the S5A fueling and integration hall (at right).
March 12, 2015 – Soyuz Flight VS11
Preparations for Arianespace’s next Soyuz flight are in full swing at multiple locations across the Spaceport, including a key integration step for the medium-lift launcher, plus the start-up of fueling for its Galileo satellite passengers.
Soyuz’ Block I third stage was mated to the vehicle’s core during activity today in the MIK Launcher Integration Building, concluding its basic build-up. Once the checkout process is completed, Soyuz will be transferred to the launch pad – where it will receive the two Galileo spacecraft and the Fregat upper stage, all of which are well into preparation phases of their own.
Payload fueling commenced earlier this week, with Flight Model #4 (FM4) – the fourth Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellite – receiving its propellant load in the Spaceport’s S5A fueling and integration hall. After its “sister” FM3 co-passenger undergoes this same process, the two will be integrated side-by-side on a dispenser for their shared ride aboard Soyuz on March 27.
The fueling process followed the finalization last week of FM3 and FM4’s hardware and software, as well as the charging of their batteries – which will be relied upon during the short period from launch to unfurling of these spacecraft’s solar arrays in orbit.

Na, wir wollen mal den
Adam nicht zum Mädchen machen.
Ein Launchkit gibt es auch bereits:
http://www.arianespace.com/images/launch-kits/launch-kit-pdf-eng/VS11-launchkit-GB.pdfStart ist geplant für den 27.3. 22:46:18 Uhr MEZ.
Die beiden Satelliten (715 und 713 kg schwer) sollen, wie es bei VS09 geplant war, in 23522 km Höhe ausgesetzt werden.
300 km über ihrem Arbeitshöhe in der Orbitebene "B". Das sollen die Satelliten dann, nachdem sie zu ihrem Slot
gedriftet sind, absenken.
Die Fregat macht dazu 2 Zündungen. Nach dem Aussetzen gibt es scheinbar keine Zündung des Triebwerks mehr.
In Orbitebene "B" befinden sich bereits Galileo IOV FM1 und IOV FM2.
