are they going to land it with external cargo ? – Zgr3doo Jan 29 '16 at 16:05
My comment from long ago was wrong, there is an awkward-looking external cargo module attached at the rear, at least according to this image from their website. – Organic Marble Jul 27 '16 at 18:47
@Zgr3doo the website with images that I linked in the edited answer shows the external cargo module being jettisoned before entry. – Organic Marble Jul 27 '16 at 18:53
