In @AirbusSpace, Bremen, 🇩🇪 the last radiator is being installed on @NASA_Orion's European Service Module, marking the completion of the module integration.

So now what?
Next major step in the big general picture is:
MLI blankets and MMOD panels followed by solar array wing and antennas integration (Similar but with differences to ATV).
Later:
Testing and then if the forward and aft adaptors are installed they can encapsulate the SM because fuelling and gasses and water is via the bottom. Then Orion Mate and full encapsulation.

I'm glad for the progress.  Hopefully between EM-1 and EM-2 both NASA and ESA will figure out how to streamline the process a little, especially since the big point for EM-1 is to test fly Orion/SLS.

You forgot several major steps that will happen first:
1. Ship the integrated module to the USA
2. Undo a good number of integration steps (basically: take the ESM partially apart again)
3. Make several modifications requested by NASA
4. Test modded systems and do more tests.
5. Re-integrate the ESM

Then comes your list.

View from below: Orion European Service Module-1

Technicians work underneath the European Service Module for NASA’s Orion spacecraft, September 2018.

ESA’s European service module will provide power, water, air and electricity to NASA’s Orion exploration spacecraft that will eventually fly beyond the Moon with astronauts. The European Service Module is now complete for Orion’s first mission that will do a lunar fly-by without astronauts to demonstrate the spacecraft’s capabilities.

Much like closing the bonnet on a car, with the radiators in place technicians can no longer access the internals of the European service module, symbolically ending the assembly and integration of the module that will fly further into our Solar System than any other human-rated spacecraft has ever flown before.

MEDIA ADVISORY M18-155

Coming to America: Orion’s European Service Module Arrives for First Mission


NASA is inviting media to its Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 9 a.m. EST Friday, Nov. 16, for an event marking the arrival from Bremen, Germany, of the European Service Module – the powerhouse that will supply NASA’s Orion spacecraft with electricity, propulsion, thermal control, air and water.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and ESA (European Space Agency) Director General Jan Wörner, as well as other senior leaders from NASA and ESA will discuss with media the international cooperation needed to send humans to the Moon and Mars. The event will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website.

Following remarks, media will have the opportunity to speak with subject matter experts and tour Kennedy facilities until approximately 12:30 p.m. to get a glimpse of the work underway to prepare for the first launch of Orion and NASA’s Space Launch System, including Exploration Ground Systems.

Applications for U.S. media credentialing must be received by Friday, Nov. 9. Foreign national media must apply by Wednesday, Oct. 31. To submit an accreditation request, visit:

https://media.ksc.nasa.gov/

Media accreditation questions may be directed to Kennedy’s newsroom at 321-867-2468.

For the first time, NASA will use a European-built system as a critical element to power an American spacecraft, extending the international cooperation of the International Space Station into deep space. The European Service Module is a unique collaboration across space agencies and industry including ESA’s prime contractor, Airbus, and 10 European countries. The completion of service module work in Europe and shipment to Kennedy signifies a major milestone toward NASA’s human deep space exploration missions to the Moon and beyond.

At Kennedy, the service module will undergo integration with the Orion crew module, built by prime contractor Lockheed Martin, in preparation for Exploration Mission-1– a flight test farther into space than any human spacecraft has ventured.
