American manned spacecraft module. Study 2005. The Stowage/Habitation Module (SHM) provided generous living space for the crew during cislunar transit.
Accommodations included a galley, and stowage. The SHM also had its own attitude control and environmental control systems, providing a back-up to the CEV's primary systems.

Thermal control would be provided by radiators on the exterior with 2.35 m2 of area. Many metric tons of additional payload could be added to the SHM if a different launch vehicle or mission scenario was used.
Habitable Volume: 174.60 m3. RCS Coarse No x Thrust: 8 x 3 x 440 N. RCS specific impulse: 290 sec. Spacecraft delta v: 2,300 m/s (7,500 ft/sec). Electric System: 2.00 average kW.
