Modifications for MPLM to remain at ISS permanently
Spotted on NASA Spaceflight.com:
Furthermore, the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) - either Raffaello, Leonardo, or Donatello - which will fly on STS-133 will be modified and re-designated as a Permanent Logistics Module (PLM) which will be left on the ISS after STS-133 departs. This issue has been talked about in sci.space.* in the past. What I'd like to know is what NASA finally decided were necessary modifications to the MPLM for permanent berthing to ISS. The cost of these modifications would be interesting as well.

Thanks. JDL |
