Andrews Space is developing the Andrews Cargo Module, a cargo logistics system capable of addressing NASA's International Space Station cargo logistics requirements, as well as the needs of emerging customers like Bigelow Aerospace and the Department of Defense.

Andrews previously worked on crew and cargo logistics systems under contract to NASA as part of the Alternate Access to Station and Concept Exploration & Refinement efforts.  The goal of the Alternate Access to Station (AAS) program was to identify a cargo logistics system capable of supporting the ISS using domestic launch capability. 

In 2005 Andrews worked with NASA to define requirements and a configuration for the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), ultimately selecting a 5.4 meter diameter Apollo shaped capsule.  Andrews developed a full-scale mockup of its design to verify internal packaging for both crew and cargo transport.  This mockup was transferred to NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) and has been used by NASA to conduct Orion design studies. 

The Andrews Cargo Module incorporates design features and system elements from these previous efforts into a low risk cargo module design.  In November 2007 Andrews submitted a proposal to NASA as part of its COTS recompete.

Andrews has also conducted market studies, including the Future Space Transportation Study, to investigate emerging commercial markets and new business opportunities in low Earth orbit.
