Picture 2 of 2.

The heatshield contains the SPS engine propellant service connectors (the oxidizer service connection is visible at the 3:00 position), which allow fill and drain of the Service Module's main fuel and oxidizer tanks. The heatshield also covers the associated plumbing and the aft tank bulkheads.
