Ready to push the #redbutton #LisaPathfinder principle investigator Stefano Vitale, University of Trento, readying to send last command #eom

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

Will go live in a few minutes from the Main Control Room at ESOC for #LISAPathfinder last command #EoM

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

Readying to send #LastCommand to #LISAPathfinder - mission team, scientists, friends & family join to say farewell

[Oliver Jennrich @OliverJennrich]

A bit more than hour to go. #LISAPathfinder #goodbyelpf @esa_lpf

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

Update from the Main Control Room: A-chain of #LISAPathfinder's redundant on-board systems now OFF & craft is flying on its B-chain

[ESA_LPF @ESA_LPF]

The carrier signal will disappear ~10s after last command is sent at 20:00CEST, indicating that #LISAPathfinder's transmitter is OFF https://t.co/3pSgHpUrTS

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

Channel your inner mission control engineer! The waveform shown here is the carrier signal from #LISAPathfinder (1/2)

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

Talking to space! ESA's 35m deep-space station at Cebreros (Spain) now linked with #LISAPathfinder for the final pass #EOM

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

We have #AOS! #LISAPathfinder controllers established contact with their craft for the last time just after 16:00CEST

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

It's a bit of a sad day, but we're terminating this mission having achieved all goals - ESA Flight Director Andreas Rudolph #LISAPathfinder
