An overhead crane holds the BepiColombo Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) Structural and Thermal Model while it is being installed onto its Thermal Test Adapter (TTA). The TTA is, in turn, mounted on the Vertical Integration Stand, which will be used to move the MPO from the clean room to the Large Space Simulator.
