Automated cargo spacecraft

Automated cargo spacecraft are robotic vehicles designed to transport supplies, equipment, and scientific experiments to space stations without crew onboard. They use advanced navigation and control systems to dock automatically at the station, unload their cargo, and sometimes return to Earth or move to new destinations. These spacecraft increase efficiency, reduce the need for human intervention, and enable routine resupply missions to support ongoing research and operations in space. They are vital for maintaining the functionality of space stations like the International Space Station, ensuring continuous scientific progress and human presence in orbit.
