Orbital module

The orbital module is a portion of spacecraft used only in orbit. It is separated from the manned reentry capsule before reentry. The orbital module provides 'habitat' space to use in orbit, while the reentry capsule tends to be focused on the machinery needed to get seated passengers back safely, with heavy structural margins. These have developed from the Soviet Soyuz spacecraft.
