Speaking on the Main Control Room voice 'loop', or intercom, at approximately 14:17 CEST, 14 May 2009, Herschel-Planck Flight Operations Director John Dodsworth conducted the traditional 'GO/NO-GO' roll call during which all supporting teams at ESOC confirmed their readiness to support today's launch.
Responses on the voice loop came from the Spacecraft Operations Managers (SOMs) Micha Schmidt (Herschel) and Chris Watson (Planck), as well as members of the Flight Control Team, the Flight Dynamics Team, the ESTRACK Ground Operations Manager and the Software Coordinator, among others.
