Update from @esa's #EarthCARE launch site: the team managed to successfully switch on the satellite for the first time leaving Europe! The team also completed a fitcheck with the Launch Vehicle Adapter (LVA) which involved carefully lifting the satellite and placing it on the LVA, fitting the clamp band to hold it in place, then installing the umbilical and purge connections to ensure they fitted correctly.
