19 November 2003: ESA and NASA managers and astronauts are visiting the Jules Verne Equipped Avionics Bay (EAB) at the EADS SPACE Transportation facility in Bremen, Germany, where Jules Verne's different segments will be integrated until March.

The mating of the EAB and the propulsion bay will make up the so-called Spacecraft Segment, which includes propulsion systems, electrical power, computers and most of the avionics.
