+# Payload
+
+Payload is a class created to act as a variable-mass container. Currently it is simple an AttachedComponent with the type 'payload'. 
+
+## Instantiation
+To instantiate a Payload one can pass the same arguments used to instantiate an AttachedComponent:
+
+``` python
+import math
+from vec import Vector2
+
+from adr.Components.Auxiliary import Payload
+
+main_payload = Payload(
+    name='main_payload',
+    mass=9.2,
+    relative_position=Vector2(-0.2, 0),
+    relative_angle=math.radians(0)
+)
+
+print(main_payload.type)
+>>> payload
+```
