Members of the integration team are using special mobile access platforms ('cherry pickers') to access the interface between Schiaparelli and its main separation assembly (MSA), and the TGO. In this image, the MSA is in contact with the orbiter interface ring and members of the integration team are preparing to attach it using 27 bolts.
