The VentureStar Cargo Hold is similar to all cargo holds from sailing ships to airliners. The dimensions of the hold take advantage of the design of the spaceliner (Table 1 and Image 1).
LENGTH | 15.24 | m |
WIDTH | 4.57 | m |
HEIGHT | 9.75 | m |
TOP CARGO HOLD HEIGHT | 5.03 | m |
BOTTOM CARGO HOLD HEIGHT | 4.72 | m |
CARGO DOOR WIDTH | 2.29 | m |

The VentureStar was once derided for its internal volume inefficiency. Those inefficiencies are now tuned to our advantage by having the equivalent of
two cargo holds (Image 2).
