m Update jetcan size as per patch notes Version 20.03. Change MTU size back to 27,500, it is not mentioned in the patch notes and the info screen in-game still shows 27,500. Update external link. Change headings to sentence case as per MoS. Remove right parameter from thumb images as right is the default. Change order in freight container from smallest to largest, as all other containers.

The jettison container, usually referred to as jetcan, is a special container, in that it can not be built or bought. Instead this container spawns whenever items get jettisoned into space, which it then contains. The container can not be scooped to the cargo hold and only lasts about two hours in space, since technically it counts as space debris for the game engine - like ship wrecks. They have a capacity of 55,000 and items can be freely dropped into and recovered from them which makes them ideal for [[Mining#Jetcan and GSC mining|mining operations]]. Once all items have been removed, the jetcan despawns.
