SPACEHAB Logistics & Research Carriers

SPACEHAB’s unique family of research and logistics carriers enables the space shuttle to maximize its flexibility. Applying a keen knowledge of crew requirements and the challenges of working and living in a microgravity environment, SPACEHAB provides module and pallet designs that have successfully enhanced the research capabilities, cargo carrying capacity and habitation conditions of the orbiter fleet, while meeting the specific needs of its government and commercial customers.

Pressurized Modules
SPACEHAB’s habitable modules fill a vital need for more usable working and living space inside the space shuttle cargo bay. Accessible through a pressurized tunnel from the orbiter's cabin, these powered modules significantly increase the crew volume and active payload capacity of the shuttle fleet. Astrotech owns both research and logistics modules that can be flown in single and double module configurations, depending upon specific mission requirements.
