(08/05/1999) -- Cranes supporting the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) called Raffaello lower it onto a transporter 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. Weighing nearly 4.5 tons, the Raffaello measures 21 feet long and 15 feet in diameter. Raffaello is scheduled to be launched on mission STS-100 July 27, 2000
