Overall view of the top of the spacecraft.

At the rear is the hoist loop, used during spacecraft recovery.

The groove running along the top of the spacecraft is the main parachute bridle trough, which holds the main chute lines until the spacecraft transitions from a single point to a two point suspension system. In the bridle trough, some ragged remnants of the white bridle cover can be seen.
