ESA Teams Rehearse for Dual FLEX and Sentinel-3C Satellite Launch

The European Space Agency (ESA) is conducting intensive rehearsals at its European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) for the upcoming launch of two spacecraft, FLEX and Sentinel-3C, aboard a single launcher on September 15. This mission is unique as two independent teams will operate the satellites in parallel, requiring close coordination due to their closely related orbits. FLEX is ESA's photosynthesis mission, while Sentinel-3C is a Copernicus satellite for Earth monitoring.
