On day 5 we finally had the awaited interference test after breakfast. During the test we had some minor challenges: We were supposedly taking to much current, but (big thanks to Stephan Böttcher) we could see how much we were taking at that point and it turned out to not be our problem.
Besides that, everything went well and we could move on to the rescue meeting. Our team lead Nicolas told the rescue team what they need to do when rescuing our experiment after the balloon flight. It was a fast meeting, since there is not much to do for our experiment except take photos of the gondola and then plug us out.
In the afternoon, it was time for the FCT (Flight Compatibility Test), where the gondola with all experiments is mounted to HERCULES, the launch vehicle. The gondola then hung outside for some time. Everything went smoothly and we got the go for launching. Luckily the weather forecast was good enough to schedule the launch for the next day.
