With its total payload mass of about 8,000 kg (8 metric tons) this mission sets a new record.

The payload mass for different missions are as follows:

This approach makes the least demands on the launch vehicle, as the payload mass is reduced for any one launch.

This conserves even more payload mass, as compared to using an on-board liquid apogee engine.

RegoBricks addressed the issue of resources needed for building materials and the limited payload mass that can be launched on a rocket.

The announced reason for this flight was some vital small parts for a malfed pressure control system, and they were indeed most of the payload mass.

The satellites have a mass of about 1620 kg, with the payload mass being 435 kg.

While significant focus of space logistics is on upmass, or payload mass carried up to orbit from Earth, space station operations also have significant downmass requirements.

The dimension of the measure is the product of the quantity of payload mass and the distance transported.

An orbital launcher would use dozens to hundreds of CRPUs, depending on payload mass.
