Removing Sentinel-1C from its transport container

Following its journey from Cannes, France, Sentinel-1C, the third satellite of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission, arrived in Kourou, French Guiana on 9 October 2024 in preparation for liftoff in December. Once Sentinel-1C had fully acclimatised for 24 hours, the transportation container was opened, and Sentinel-1C was greeted with a warm welcome.
