ESA's Mercury Planetary Orbiter (middle) and JAXA's Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (top) being arranged in their launch configuration together with the Mercury Transfer Module (bottom) in a so-called 'fit-check'. While the MPO and MMO are now integrated, the real integration of the MTM will take place after propellants have been added to the modules.
