Video footage from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan where the ExoMars 2016 spacecraft, mated with the Breeze-M upper stage, are tilted into the horizontal position prior to being encapsulated within the launcher fairing.
Some of the people preparing the spacecraft for launch pose for a group picture at the end of the video.
