The '''cargo landing pad''' is a large storage item that is part of the [[logistic network]]. It acts as an 8×8 [[passive provider chest]] with a capacity of 80 slots. Only one can be placed on the surface at a time. [[Inserters]] can pull items out of it like any other container, but cannot insert ''into'' the landing pad.

When the [[rocket silo]] sends a rocket with a [[satellite]] into space, the cargo landing pad will receive 1,000 [[space science pack]]s. If the landing pad is full, the science will be deposited on the ground and marked for deconstruction. The science will be delivered to the landing pad regardless of its distance from the rocket silo.

The landing pad can be connected to the [[circuit network]] to read its contents like other containers.

{{About/Space age}}
In [[Space Age]]{{SA}}, the cargo landing pad further acts as a hub for orbital deliveries. It acts as a [[requester chest]] for orbiting [[space platform]]s{{SA}}. Platforms that are stopped over the current planet may have their cargo dropped down to satisfy the landing pad's requests. The landing pad can only receive one stack of items at a time.

Placing a [[cargo bay]]{{SA}} that is touching the landing pad next to at least one tile will increase the landing pad's inventory size by 20 slots each (increasable with higher [[quality]]{{SA}}) and increase the number of item stacks that can be dropped from the platform at once. If a landing pad's inventory is full, a platform will not drop any cargo until a slot is free.

If the '''trash unrequested''' box is ticked, the landing pad will automatically move all items from its inventory that are not currently requested to its trash slots.
