Cygnus - Pressurized Cargo Modules
The Cygnus maneuvering spacecraft has been developed by Orbital Space Science to demonstrate cargo delivery under NASA Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) agreement. In addition to the COTS development and demonstration program, Orbital will utilize the Cygnus to perform the ISS resupply flights under the Commercial Resupply Service (CRS) contract. This NASA contract authorizes eight missions between 2011 and 2015 carrying approximately 20000 Kg of cargo to the ISS as well as disposal of ISS waste. Thales Alenia Space Italia under contract to Orbital Sciences Corporation designed, developed, produced and delivered pressurized modules for cargo transport -- including equipment, spare parts, scientific experiments and other items -- to the International Space Station (ISS). The pressurized cargo module is based on the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM).From:thalesaleniaspaceViews:0 0ratingsTime:06:15More inScience Technology
