End of the environmental tests of the MICROSCOPE satellite

ONERA has just validated the good operation of the MICROSCOPE Payload after the thermal vaccuum and vibration tests.

This is a major step for the instrument team after the most critical test since its delivery to CNES in 2014 and before the launch foreseen in April 2016.
