A Sticker show

At this very moment of the campaign, all parties wanted to exhibit their own stickers to be put on the fairing.

Here, Bill and Yuri (from left to right) exhibit the Russian one.
Note also from left to right, the Turkmenistan, Russian, Ukrainian, and Kazakh flags.
For the CryoSat-2 launch, An agreement has been reached with Turkmenistan for the drop zone of the rocket first stage.
The sticker also clearly flags the main players on the Russian side:

• Roscosmos, the Russian Space Agency
  
• The National Space Agency of Ukraine
  
• Kosmotras, joint Russian Ukrainian project to commercialise DNIEPR
  
• Yuzhnoe, rocket designer
  
• Yuzhmash, rocket manufacturer
  

ESA presents its own:


Astrium's one is handed by Edi and Raphael (from left to right).
A small sticker indeed ... but for an outstanding contribution!


Finally when all of these have been put at the right place, an overall picture of the Platform concluded this "sticker show":-)
