KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the Space Station Processing Facility, engineers install the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello in the Payload Transportation Canister. It rests behind the External Stowage Platform-2. The canister will transfer the payloads to Launch Pad 39-B. Raffaello will travel aboard Space Shuttle Discovery on Return to Flight Mission STS-114 to the International Space Station. Raffaello will carry 12 racks of cargo to the Station, including food, clothing, spare parts and research equipment. The Boeing Company, a KSC and NASA prime contractor for ISS element processing, prepared Raffaello for flight. The module was built by the Italian Space Agency for NASA under a cooperative space agreement.
