The team enjoyed a delicious barbecue put on by Space Systems/ Loral on Friday evening.

A member of the Khrunichev telecom team is an avid amateur photographer, and he took several excellent shots of a local fox that is a frequent visitor to the Fili hotel. The fox even turned out for the barbecue! (He knows good food!)

With the weather finally cooling down, barbecue enjoyed by all, and operations at the Launch Complex back in full swing, spirits are high in Baikonur.
