Finally I made it. I went to Texas to make my private pilot license.

| We're there... Today we're going to launch METOP!! |
This morning I drove to work with a special feeling... I saw all the other people going to work as they do everyday... But today, I thought, I go to work to launch a sattelite!
Somewhere in Baikonur/Kasachstan is a fully fueld Soyuz Fregat Rocket on the launchpad with our nice big baby EPS/METOP und der the fairing on the top of the rocket.
We're here in the ESA Mission Control Centre in Darmstadt and will take over the sattelite after launch to maneouvre it to the right orbit, startup all systems, deploy solar arrays and antennas and so on. This task will keep us busy for the next 3-4 days and is based on the preparations of the last three years.
www.metoplc.esa.int Gives nice impressions of the launch campaign in Baikonur
www.esa.int Shows you what's going on here in the ESA/ESOC control centre
You can find me on the Software Coordinator Console...
By now we're green for launch - Let's keep all fingers crossed!!!
