On 12 October, the ICARUS cryostat was extracted from Building 156 and brought to the front of Building 185, where the ICARUS detector is. Next, the detector will be inserted into it, and at the end of the year, shipped to Fermilab.

Here, the first ICARUS detector module has been undergoing a complete refurbishment, lasting almost 20 months.

Next, the detector will be inserted into its own cryostat and, at the end of the year, shipped to Chicago to start its new adventure as a part of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) programme at Fermilab.
