The book I have with the info on the plane is in some sorta weird moon-man language, so I can't tell you what it says, but it's eiterh cameras (unlikely) or satcom equipment (more likely). I'm really annoyed that the English versions of the entries on this page don't seem to work; You think that's bad...

Borscht storage. If it's avionics, they've really got to start improving on the mass fraction being devoted to differential engine-driven navigation gear. Seriously, I've got a sneaking hunch (sometimes it's on the left shoulder, sometimes the right, and sometimes I don't have any idea where it is.) that this has something to do with that plasma stealth system that they were playing up a few years back.
