Andrews Cargo Module

The Andrews Cargo Module was a proposed design for an unmanned resupply spacecraft which would deliver cargo to the International Space Station (ISS).[1] Andrews Space proposed to NASA that spacecraft of this design be used for the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program. The proposal was ultimately rejected in favor of the SpaceX Dragon and the Orbital Sciences Cygnus.

Design

The spacecraft consists of a common Service Module, a Pressurized Cargo Module (PCM) or an Unpressurized Cargo Module (UCM), and a Recovery Module.

Associated launch vehicle

The spacecraft was to be launched on the proposed Hercules launch vehicle.

gollark: You can abuse the search option for that.
gollark: Just play it at 1.5x speed and ignore, say, most of the transition metals (nobody likes them), alkali metals below whatever period (it's not like they're very unique), the lathanides/acinitides or however you spell that, and also anything over 100.
gollark: It turns out that you can use `pls faketext` to retrieve a very rough idea of what one person is saying in channels you don't have access to if you know the channel ID (which you can get from the starboard) or possibly the name!
gollark: Yes, praise our bezosian overlord.
gollark: Smart pets are good, surely. You can train them to do fun things.
