    • Description

      Soyuz VS07 was transferred from the preparation building MIK to the Soyuz launch zone of the Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, on 31 March 2014.
      The vehicle was rolled out horizontally on its erector from the MIK to the launch zone and then raised into the vertical position.

      Soyuz VS07 will lift off on 3 April 2014. The rocket will carry Sentinel-1, the first in the family of Copernicus satellites.

      This satellite will be used to monitor many aspects of our environment, from detecting and tracking oil spills and mapping sea ice to monitoring movement in land surfaces and mapping changes in the way land is used. It will also play a crucial role in providing timely information to help respond to natural disasters and assist humanitarian relief efforts.
