The SM20 (Storage Module - 20x) is a cargo expansion module designed for docking into the Helios-MSC by jrandall: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2387666775

The Helios is a Modular Space Carrier designed to expand its capabilities by docking smaller special-purpose CV modules into it. This module will extend the carrier's cargo capacity with 20 320k containers and an assortment of smaller capacity cargo boxes. It is intended to leave attached to the carrier for long-term storage needs. As such it has limited thrust, a lightweight carbon hull to reduce overall weight, and no defenses. However, as long as the module remains docked it will be impervious to enemy damage due to how the game is designed (as of version 1.4), so your cargo will be safe even if it appears to be exposed.

This is an "open space" design. The cockpit is the only oxygenated compartment, so make sure you throw on an EVA booster if you want to manually access the cargo containers. The cargo is separated into two decks, with the top deck accessible by walking through the cockpit. All containers are named such that they can be easily located using the floor number and alphabetic labels.

The ship features a power-conserving docking mode that will automatically turn off the ship when you are not near it. It can be enabled through the control panel by activating the "Dock Mode" switch and turning off the "Oxygen" switch (this suppresses the O2 warning you get when turning off power to the ship).

There is extra generator and CPU capacity to add small constructors if you want to expand the module's use to include minor production. Just attach them anywhere to the truss blocks along the hull, or replace unused cargo pallets with them. If you add constructors you cannot use the "Dock Mode" switch. Just turn off the thrusters manually for the best power savings until your production run is complete.

The SM20 can also be configured for landing and docking to a carrier deck. You will have to install four 1x2x1 landing gears (Landing Gear 1 Retractable) to the truss blocks directly adjacent to the four lift thrusters. A boarding ramp in the front deck will give you access to the ship.

If you wish, container colors can be changed by modifying the six colors in the upper-right of the paint tool's palette.
