Not too much. The bay is about the size of a full-sized pickup truck's bed.
I doubt it can launch or retrieve satellites, so I'm not sure what its purpose is, unless it's for quick launch surveillance during a crisis.

Its stats are modest: The vehicle tips the scales at 11,000 pounds and is just over 29 feet in length and stands slightly more than 9 1/2 feet (2.9 meters) in height. It sports a wingspan of a little over 14 feet.
