The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module was a large pressurized container used aboard Space Shuttle missions to carry cargo to and from the International Space Station. Two of the modules together made a dozen trips in the Shuttle's cargo bay, berthed first to the station's Unity module and later to its Harmony module. Once docked, supplies were offloaded and finished experiments and waste were loaded back aboard for the return to Earth. Three modules, named Leonardo, Raffaello, and Donatello, were built by Alenia Aeronautica for the Italian Space Agency.
