(08/05/1999) -- The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) called Raffaello is suspended above a workstand in the Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF) where it will undergo testing.

Weighing nearly 4.5 tons, the Raffaello measures 21 feet long and 15 feet in diameter. Also inside the SSPF is the first Italian-built MPLM, Leonardo, also undergoing testing for its launch on mission STS-102 scheduled for June 29, 2000.
