This work package only applies to type 2 vehicle (servicing Low Earth Orbit).

You will define feasible applications on board a manned vehicle servicing low-Earth orbit with atmospheric re-entry, in addition to the basic mission of transporting passengers to and from space stations, by addressing one of the following topics:

• Definition of ancillary missions such as cargo transport, medical evacuations and other activities that can be carried out as a passenger on the basic mission,

Or 

• Definition of additional missions requiring the flight to be extended by a few weeks in autonomous mode (e.g. laboratory experiments, weightless manufacturing, inspection of in-orbit infrastructure, repairs) and definition of functions that would enable the flight to be extended by a few weeks in autonomous mode without the need to dock with a space station.
