Abstract

The Euclid mission, of which the spacecraft is the essential space segment, is being developed to undertake the challenges of mapping the dark energy and dark matter distribution in the Universe. As the launch date is approaching (2nd half of 2022), the development of the spacecraft has successfully passed critical milestones with the manufacturing and integration of the telescope, instruments and service module. Each sub-element of the spacecraft has been qualified and their performance assessed. The assembly of the complete payload and spacecraft is currently on-going. The integrated optical performance end to end of the payload module is currently being assessed based on the as-built knowledge of the parts of the telescope and instruments.
