LISA Pathfinder at IABG's MFSA facility

In February 2010 the entire LISA Pathfinder spacecraft underwent magnetic testing at the Magnetic Field Simulation Facility (MFSA) of Germany’s IABG, in Ottobrunn near Munich. Optimised for large magnetic testing, the MFSA is officially designated as an ESA External Laboratory. The spacecraft is seen here on a non-magnetic trolley.
