A cargo item is an item whose function relates to being used in a Kerbal's inventory. Many cargo items (such as the EVA Jetpack) allow the Kerbal to perform extra actions (such as using the RCS jetpack). Other cargo items (such as the Stamp-O-Tron Ground Anchor) can be deployed from a Kerbal's inventory.

Cargo items can be stored in inventories. Cargo modules are designed to transport cargo; they have the largest inventories for their size, compared to other parts. In addition, some cargo can be stored in crewed command modules (such as the Mk1 Command Pod) and habitation modules (such as the PPD-10 Hitchhiker Storage Container), and in a Kerbal's inventory. All cargo items have both a mass and a volume; and all inventories have a limit on mass and volume.

Trivia

  • The inventory system was initially added in version 1.7.1, and only used by the Breaking Ground expansion. Cargo parts were added to the stock game in version 1.11.
