Sentinel-6 control team practises a not-so-perfect launch

On 30 September 2020, the Sentinel-6 control team at ESA's Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, practised for liftoff. In one of many 'contingency simulations' they worked through scenarios in which the Launch and Early Orbit Phase doesnt go to plan. This way, they are as prepared as can be for every eventuality.
