Raffaello come back to Earth with Atlantis
No, I don’t forget to talk you about Raffaello a module of the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI). This pressurized unit is a container wich size of a semi-trailer moving van [21 feet long and 15 feet in diameter) that serves freight, spare parts (power distribution, computers) and supplies to the astronauts. The logistics unit has brought 4.4 tons of equipment hanging once the International Space Station (ISS) and then returns to earth (in the hold of Atlantis) 2.5 tons of too much unnecessary remained aboard the station. Note : this unit comes from the former Columbus module of the European Space Agency (ESA).
There are also three versions of these modules : Leonardo, Raffaello and Donatello. The first unit (Leonardo) was attached to the ISS in March 2001.
