RENU Payload Integration at Wallops Flight Facility
(Early September through the start of October)

The RENU payload was successfully integrated and shipped to the Andøya Rocket Range in Andenes, Norway for the Nov/Dec launch window. All sequence tests and vibration testing was completed and the project was given the official go-ahead at the mission review meeting in early October. Click a photo for the larger version.
