| This was the general test set-up at
SSC during the spring of 2009 – Mango
and Tango in the clean room and test
operators outside, running the RAMSES
checkout and operational system and
other test equipment in high level
system tests.

 | Mango and Tango in the sun beam of
the space simulator in early 2009. The test main
purpose was to calibrate the thermal
mathematical model, but also to check
system functions in extreme temperatures.

 | Mango and Tango in the EMC chamber
at Intespace in January 2009. The
interference by and between all RF
systems were verified to be within
limits.

 | Mango and Tango are mated as in
launch configuration, and located on the
vibration table at the Intespace test facility. Late 2008.

 | In November 2008, the satellites were
installed in the SIMLES chamber at
Intespace, Toulouse, France. SIMLES is
a big space simulator tank providing
vacuum, hot sun illumination and
extremely cold environment.

 | In early 2008, Mango and Tango are
mechanically integrated and the harness
(in total around 4000 endpoints) is just
installed. But still, the computers and
several other units are missing

| The integration of the three propulsion systems in late 2007. This marked the start of the integration of flight units in the real
satellites.
