zenith

The zenith, or top side of the spacecraft, always faces away from the earth. From this view you can see the Propulsion and Attitude Control Modules on the MMS, as well as the microwave radiometer and the solar array on the IM. On the edges of the solar array you can also see the course sun sensors.
