The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) scientific satellite mission is characterized from an engineering viewpoint. The mission requirements are summarized as well as the main engineering parameters. The two orbit options for Titan 3/T.O.S. (Transfer Orbital Stage) and Proton launchers are highlighted as well as the main characteristics of both launchers. A system-level description of the satellite is given, with drawings illustrating the designed configuration, with emphasis on the service module in common with the XMM, the ESA X-ray Multimirror satellite, and on the INTEGRAL payload. The paper is completed by a summary of the approach for the satellite management and procurement, and indication of the schedule.
