The Schiaparelli entry, descent and landing demonstrator module pictured inside the dedicated ISO 7 environment cleanroom tent within the "normal" ISO 8 cleanroom in the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The aeroshell front shield and back cover (not shown) have been removed during testing. The surface platform (silver-coloured hardware on the support trolley) carries the DREAMS experiment.
