YES2 is lowered onto the Foton M3 using a roof mounted crane in the MIK12 Integration Hall at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Russian technicians will hold YES2 in place and attach it to the Foton space craft’s battery pack, before final visual inspections and interface testing begins on the combined configuration.
