STS111-E-5116 (9 June 2002) --- One of the STS-111 crewmembers took this interior view of the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM). Leonardo was unberthed from the payload bay of the Space Shuttle Endeavour on June 8, 2002 by astronaut Kenneth D. Cockrell, STS-111 mission commander, operating the shuttle’s robotic arm to move the module to the International Space Station’s (ISS) Unity node. Leonardo’s installation was completed at 9:28 a.m. (CDT). Leonardo is one of three Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules built by the Italian Space Agency that serve as pressurized, reusable cargo carriers to ferry supplies, equipment and experiments between the ground and the space station.
