EDRS-C mated with launcher

The second satellite to join the constellation that forms the European Data Relay System (EDRS) has been mated with its launch vehicle.

The EDRS-C satellite is due for launch on 6 August 2019 from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, aboard an Ariane 5 rocket.

EDRS enables people to observe the Earth almost live, accelerating responses to emergency situations and spurring the development of new services and products that create jobs and increase prosperity.
