KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A crane is attached to the Raffaello, the second Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) for the International Space Station (ISS), before offloading the MPLM from the "Beluga" Super Transporter. 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. Weighing nearly 4.5 tons, the module measures 21 feet long and 15 feet in diameter. Raffaello will join Leonardo, the first Italian-built MPLM, in the Space Station Processing Facility for testing. NASA, Boeing, the Italian Space Agency and Alenia Aerospazio will provide engineering support
