The space logistics research and practice primarily focus on the modeling and management of the astro-logistics supply chain from Earth and on to destinations throughout the solar system as well as the system architecture strategies to minimize both logistics requirements and operational costs of human and robotic operations in space.
Furthermore, if such services were unavailable by the end of 2010, NASA would have been forced to purchase orbital transportation services on foreign spacecraft such as the Russian Federal Space Agency's Soyuz and Progress spacecraft, the European Space Agency's Automated Transfer Vehicle, or the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's H-II ...
The Gateway Logistics Services (acronymized as GLS) will be a series of uncrewed spaceflights to the Lunar Gateway space station, with the purpose of providing logistical services to the Gateway. Overseen by NASA 's Gateway Logistics Element , the flights will be operated by commercial providers, contracted by the agency in support of crewed ...
Raffaello was used for four of twelve MPLM flights to the space station, with Leonardo being used for the remainder. It was first launched on 19 April 2001, aboard the STS-100 mission flown by Space Shuttle Endeavour , and made its third flight in July 2005, aboard Discovery on STS-114 .
A Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) is a large pressurized container that was used on Space Shuttle missions to transfer cargo to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Two MPLMs made a dozen trips in the Shuttle cargo bay and initially berthed to the Unity and later the Harmony module on the ISS.
ExPRESS Logistics Carrier number 1. An EXpedite the PRocessing of Experiments to Space Station (ExPRESS) Logistics Carrier (ELC) is an unpressurized attached payload platform for the International Space Station (ISS) that provides mechanical mounting surfaces, electrical power, and command and data handling services for Orbital Replacement Units (ORUs) as well as science experiments on the ISS.
10 March 2001 – The Leonardo Multi Purpose Logistics Module rests in Discovery ' s payload bay in this view taken from the ISS by a crew member using a digital still camera during STS-102. The Leonardo MPLM , also known as MPLM-1 , was one of three Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules which were operated by NASA to transfer supplies and equipment ...
Hello -- I'm a member of the MIT Space Logistics Project and the AIAA Space Logistics Technical Committee. We have initiated a revision process, and although many of us are new to Wikipedia, hopefully we will be able to vastly improve the space logistics page in the next few months. --Ptgrogan 05:23, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
