The contamination control inside the lower part of the tower has been performed (as usual) with the surface particle counter in three steps:
1. as soon as opened the tower (Tower opening),
2. after the interventions (payload dismounting and dummy payload installation/removal),
3. as soon as cleaned with CO2 machine and isopropyl alcohol (Cleaning cycle).
Further measurements will be performed after the planned vaccum cycle.
In the attached figure the results of the measurements.
