Bottom of the PLM, shortly before the mating with the SVM shown in Fig. B.3. The bottom is covered with MLI to provide thermal insulation and to prevent molecular contamination entering from the SVM. The large white polygonal structure girding the lower parts is the NISP radiator.

The PLM was built by Airbus Defence and Space. Credit: ESA - S. Corvaja.
