This is one of those confusing nomenclature deals. Is it "Epsilon 2" because it is the second Epsilon, or because it uses the upgraded "Epsilon 2" launch vehicle variant? Or both? - Ed Kyle

It's interesting to notice that in the twitter picture posts, people talk about hard work on the launch structure, specifically about the large duct that was external and now has been placed inside the red metallic structure (it was torn off on the first flight take-off).
