Galileo fit check

The all-important ‘fit check’ for the seventh and eighth Galileo satellites in mid-February 2015. The two satellites were installed separately onto their dual-launch dispenser, to check they fitted correctly. This dispenser has the task of holding them in place atop the Fregat during the launch and flight to their final orbit, then releasing them. They will be installed together later in March, after the satellites have been fuelled.
