The SPACEHAB
Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC) System is a cargo delivery system
for unpressurized payloads to the International Space Station (ISS).
The ICC can accommodate a variety of payloads on both its top and
bottom surfaces, and provides adaptable crew and equipment
interfaces to efficiently work with these payloads. This carrier
is capable of flying over a pressurized tunnel connected to a
SPACEHAB module, enabling concurrent delivery of both pressurized
and unpressurized payloads on SPACEHAB flights.
