Back Cover Subsystem(BCSS). The Back Cover protects the DM [descent module] during entry, ensures depressurisation during launch and carries multi-layer insulation(MLI) for the cruise and coast phases. Since it does not have to meet stringent aerothermodynamic requirements, it is a stiffened aluminium shell of minimal mass(11. 4 kg) protected by Prosial(5 kg). It includes : an access door for late access during integration and for forced-air ground cooling of the Probe; a break-out patch through which the first(drogue) parachute is fired; a labyrinth sealing joint with the Front Shield, providing a non-structural thermal and particulate barrier. 2, record 3, English, - back%20cover%20subsystem
