We will present a summary of the status of the payload and ground segment development. The manufacturing, integration, and tests of the PLATO cameras flight models has started, with the plan to complete the production of the 26 cameras by the end of 2024. Camera Engineering Model tests have confirmed that the optical performance meets the requirements. The Engineering and Qualification Models of the electronic units are under assembly or delivered. In parallel, the definition of the Ground Segment and of the mission operations is progressing nominally towards the next major milestone, the Ground Segment Design Review, that will take place in the first quarter of 2024.
