The Large Spacebus 4000 transport container that was originally used to bring the ExoMars 2016 Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) to the launch site, stands ready to be loaded onto a train to be brought to an Antonov 124 transport plane at the Yubileiny airfield at the Bailonur cosmodrome. Following the successful launch of the TGO, this container and a number of sea containers were packed with remaining supplies and equipment to be transported back to Europe.
