About this work

Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) called Raffaello sits on a transporter waiting for transfer to the Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF). At the SSPF the Raffaello will undergo testing, joining the first Italian-built MPLM, Leonardo. One of Italy's major contributions to the ISS program, the MPLM is a reusable logistics carrier and the primary delivery system used to resupply and return station cargo requiring a pressurized environment.
