Left: Overview of the Euclid spacecraft with the principal axes highlighted. Right: The fully assembled spacecraft on February 2023 in the anechoic chamber of Thales Alenia Space in France, after completing final electromagnetic compatibility tests. The side shown here will always face away from the Sun. The large white structure below the cylindrical telescope baffle is the NISP radiator. The hydrazine thrusters still have their protective red covers on. The plaque with the miniaturised fingerprint galaxy created thanks to a collaboration with visual artist Lisa Pettibone and Euclid Consortium members can be seen at the lower left.
