    Checking NTO or MMH Containers for Leaks

    After finishing filling of the FM 6 and FM 7 spacecraft with the NTO oxidiser, it was time to remove the empty NTO containers from the HPF and replace them with MMH fuel containers. At the same time additional helium bottles were transferred to the HPF.

    Seen here is the checking of both empty and full NTO and MMH containers for leaks with a vapour detector.
