The second of three Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules (MPLMs) used to transport supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Raffaello had its first flight on STS-100 in April 2001. The MPLMs were built for NASA by the Italian Space Agency. The other two are called Leonardo and Donatello.
Logistics module Raffaello mated with the Unity module on the International Space Station. STS-100 pilot Jeffery Ashby used the shuttle Endeavour's robot arm to orientate Raffaello in the payload bay prior to docking.
