Knock, knock team!
According to my schedule, today I want to get out this container!

It's been a long journey, my team's a bit sleep deprived but I'm happy to say I'm at the MIK!
Let's get my launch campaign really started!

No rest for my fantastic team, immediately into action preparing me for the next part of my journey by train.
Plesetsk, I'm getting closer!
