MTG-I1 ready for fuelling

After six weeks of intense work at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, the MTG-I1 launch campaign has entered the second delicate phase of preparations and the satellite is now in the hazardous processing facility ready for fuelling. 

MTG-I1, the first satellite in the Meteosat Third Generation programme, is being prepared for its upcoming launch, scheduled on an Ariane 5 rocket in December.
