- Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (Leonardo) -
- Space Hab -
STS-215 was the second mission to deliver the Italian built Multi-Purpose Logistics Module, and first to use the American Space-Hab facility onboard the shuttle. The previous MPLM mission was done with Orbiter's default MPLM. After that mission, I decided to build my own, more realistic, MPLM module.
