payloads
What rockets carry
Payloads is the plural of payload—the cargo carried by a vehicle, especially when that cargo is the purpose of the journey.
A rocket's payload might be satellites or astronauts.
A truck's payload is the weight it can carry beyond its own structure.
In computing, a payload is the data transmitted in a packet, or the malicious code delivered by malware: The virus's payload deleted system files.
The word emphasizes useful cargo as distinct from the vehicle carrying it.
