KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Raffaello, the MPLM scheduled to fly on the STS-114 Return to Flight mission, is being lowered onto an element rotation stand, formerly used by the MPLM Leonardo, that allows the module to be rotated on its x-axis to facilitate better access during final pre-flight processing operations. STS-114 is a logistics flight (LF1) that will carry the External Stowage Platform plus supplies and equipment to the International Space Station. The planning window for launch is May 12 to June 3, 2005.
