So, you're going to space, congratulations! It's time to pack your stuff. Let's see what you can bring up there.

NASA uses normalized cargo transfer bags, or CTB, for packaging cargo. They are available in four sizes: half, single, double and triple size.

If these are not enough, you can go for one of the three bigger bags, the M01, M02 or the M03.

Dimensions

The single size CTB is 19.75 inches long, 16.75 inches wide and 9.75 inches high.

Disclaimer: all dimensions are external dimensions, actual available internal volume will depend on the configuration of dividers.

The International System of Units

The International System of Units or SI (from the French Système international (d'unité)), also called metric system in the U.S., is a coherent system of units that was published 1960. It is official in nearly every country.

The General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence générale des poids et mesures) is tasked with overseeing the SI.
