The Andrews Cargo Module is design for unmanned resupply spacecraft which would deliver cargo to the International Space Station (ISS).[1] Andrews Space has proposed to NASA that spacecraft of this design be used for the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program.

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 is expected[who?] to be launched on the proposed Hercules launch vehicle.
