A common pressurized logistics module (PLM) concept derived from Spacelab/Columbus, and optimized to satisfy International Space Station needs is advocated. A long cycle PLM satisfies requirements for flexible volume to be used for dynamic storage, skipped cycle support, work space, and other applications. Shuttle and expendable transport vehicles are suggested, and the importance of commonality is stressed.
