The Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM), built by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), is the second of three such pressurized modules that will serve as the International Space Station's "moving vans", carrying laboratory racks filled with equipment, experiments and supplies to and from the International Space Station aboard the space shuttle. Construction of ASI's Raffaello module was the responsibility of Alenia Aerospazio in Turin, Italy. Raffaello was delivered to Kennedy Space Center from Italy in July 1999 by a special Beluga cargo aircraft. The cylindrical module is about 6.4 meters (21 feet) long and 4.6 meters (15 feet) in diameter. It weighs about 9,000 pounds (almost 4.1 metric tons). It can carry up to 20,000 pounds (9.1 metric tons) of cargo packed into 16 standard space station equipment racks. Although built in Italy, Raffaello and two additional MPLMs are owned by the U.S. They were provided in exchange for Italian access to U.S. research time on the station.  9, record 1, English, - Rafaello%20multipurpose%20logistics%20module
