Following the 2039 white paper from OMTC about the importance of cargo standardisation in space operations, the SSI was formed by the Foundation Society as a controlling authority for CASSSC compliance.
CASSSCs have internal dimensions of 9m x 4.5m x 4.5m and can be purchased for $10,000 per unit. They weigh 10 metric tonnes when empty, are capable of carrying up to 60 metric tonnes of cargo and can be placed in stacks of up to 13 at a time in 1g environments. They can be made from aluminium or steel and can be fully airtight, pressurised, or climate controlled.
For the full technical specification, see the CASSSC Specification guide, ported from the sheet provided by the UKSDC.
