This view shows the CHEOPS spacecraft platform standing upright and viewed side-on. At the base of the spacecraft a hexagonal-shaped platform is enclosed by shiny side-panels. Inside the closed hexagonal cavity, the propulsion module is mounted on the base and hardware units are mounted on the inside face of each panel. One side panel supports the reaction wheels, another supports the battery, and others support electronics units and radio transceivers.
