Abstract
Integration is the process of testing the components of the spacecraft, assembling them, putting the completed spacecraft through functional testing, then performing thermal, vibration and thermal vacuum tests. After that, the spacecraft is ready to be shipped to the launch site, where it is functionally retested to ensure that no damage was done to the spacecraft. Then, the spacecraft is integrated with the launch vehicle.
