In the present launch-campaign phase, the two spacecrafts, the Proton M launch vehicle, the Breeze M Upper Stage as well as the other components of the would-be integrated launch vehicle (ILV) are being processed on the component level at the Integration-and-Test Facility (ITF) 92A-50. The Breeze M passed the first run of functional tests and electrical check-outs over the previous two weeks. It was rolled out earlier this morning to have its high-pressure tanks loaded with propellants and high-pressure gases at the Fueling Shed.
