System and method of unloading a payload from an aerospace landing vehicle

An aerospace landing vehicle having cargo, the aerospace vehicle landing vehicle comprising:

• a fuselage having a thruster disposed on a first end;
• a payload deck on a second end opposite the first end;
• a carriage configured to couple to the payload deck;
• at least one main arm configured to be rotationally coupled to the carriage, the at least one main arm being in a first position when coupled to the cargo;
• a linear-slide arm slidably coupled to a first end of the at least one main arm, the linear slide arm being in a retracted position when the cargo is disposed on the payload deck;
• an end effector operably coupled to a second end of the linear-slide arm, the end effector being releasably coupled to the cargo;
• and
• a bi-directional rotation mechanism operably coupled between the carriage and the first end.
