Great news, we passed the cargo review! With that, the hardwarwe is now safely stowed in a Cargo Transfer Bag (CTB) and waiting for the flight to the ISS in May 2018. It will be part of the Orbital Cygnus 9E cargo.
Further steps
We will continue to work on the analysis software. This will be the main work until the installation and commissioning of MarconISSta. Besides this, the installation procedures are still under review in collaboration with ESA, ARISS and BioTESC (operation center for MarconISSta). A simulation of the installation will be performed in calendar week 12 at the ESA astronaut center (EAC) in cologne.
