The line of vision is oriented towards the warm bus compartment of the lander,where the scientific instruments are to be installed. Right: One of the L-shaped angle profiles made of CFRP fabric for joining the framework side walls is marked in yellow. Left: Cross-section of a sandwich-designed framework truss consisting of a 5 millimetre foam core and two 0.125 millimetre-thick CFRP face sheet plies glued onto the sides.
