Cargo spacecraft

A cargo spacecraft is a specialized vehicle designed to transport supplies, equipment, and experiments to and from spacecraft or space stations in orbit. It carries essential goods such as food, water, scientific instruments, and replacement parts, then returns with used materials or research samples. These spacecraft are launched from Earth aboard rockets and can be either disposable or reusable. They play a critical role in supporting ongoing space missions by ensuring the station has the necessary resources, facilitating scientific research, and enabling maintenance and upgrades beyond Earth's atmosphere.
