Name the ESA spacecraft 🛰️
Well, of course it’s not the actual spacecraft, which is, umm, in space 🤷♂️
But it is the engineering model with functional copies of the real thing’s hardware, software, & instruments, used by the mission operations team at ESOC in Darmstadt if & when in-flight problems arise.
(I’ve erased a few stickers & other clues from the picture to make it a little more challenging 🙂)
