Euclid spacecraft overview. From left to right: back view of the SVM; front view of the SVM; the integrated PLM (not on the same scale as the SVM). The sunshield is mounted to the SVM structure and shields the PLM structure from direct sunshine for all allowed spacecraft attitudes. The side of the PLM exhibits three thermal radiators for the cooling of the VIS, instrument electronics harness, and NISP, from left to right, respectively. The telescope baffle is also used as thermal radiator. Three bipods are used to attach the PLM onto the SVM thereby providing maximum conductive thermal insulation.
