Tilting of the ExoMars 2016 spacecraft for encapsulation
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.
The ExoMars 2016 mission is composed of the Trace Gas Orbiter and the entry, descent and landing demonstration module, known as Schiaparelli.
