Space Station Logistics and Planned Modules

Pressurized logistics containers and planned modules for the International Space Station that were carried on the Space Shuttle or never launched, such as the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module, the Science Power Platform and Node 4. An element belongs here when its cited article ties it to the International Space Station or the Space Shuttle. Members are placed here from their own cited Wikipedia articles, each with a verbatim supporting quotation, so a reader can check why an entry sits in this group. The grouping forms part of the browse path for this section of the atlas.
