| Artist view of the ROCKOT launcher with its fairing removed to show the main SMOS satellite, and below it, the smaller Proba-2 satellite inside the double adapter.
Proba stands for PRoject for OnBoard Autonomy. The Proba satellites are among the smallest spacecraft ever to be flown by ESA, but they are making a big impact in the field of space technology. Proba-2 is the second of the series, building on nearly eight years of successful Proba-1 experience.

| The upper composite, which holds the SMOS and Proba-2 satellites, is hoisted to the top of the service tower and then onto the lower stages of the Rockot launcher. SMOS and Proba-2 were installed in the launch tower on 27 October.

| | | | Rockot-Start mit zwei ESA-Satelliten
| November 2, a Rockot will launch from Plesetsk, North of Russia, two ESA satellites: SMOS (Soil Mosture and Ocean Salinity Satellite) for learning more about our planet and Proba-2 (Project for On Board Autonomy), a small satellite part of an ESA programme to achieve in orbit demonstration of innovative technologies. Thanks to Proba new ideas can be tested that could not be embarked on operational classic missions. This small satellite represents a low cost approach which prepares future payloads in all areas.
