The packaged commodity used for the test was an inert Mk 210 Mod 0 Vertical Launch Digital Autopilot Control (DAC) unit weighing 12 kg(25 pounds). This represents the current maximum commodity weight. To compensate for future growth variations in commodity and/or packaging, 1 kg (2 pounds) were added.
