CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A Volga-Dnepr Antonov AN-124-100, a Ukranian/Russian aircraft, lands at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida with the Russian-built Mini Research Module1, or MRM1, aboard. The second in a series of new pressurized components for Russia, the module, named Rassvet, will be permanently attached to the International Space Station's Zarya module on space shuttle Atlantis' STS-132 mission. An Integrated Cargo Carrier will join the MRM in Atlantis' payload bay. Three spacewalks are planned to store spare components outside the station, including six spare batteries, a boom assembly for the Ku-band antenna and spares for the Canadian Dextre robotic arm extension. A radiator, airlock, and European robotic arm for the Russian Multi-purpose Laboratory Module also will be delivered to the station. Launch is targeted for May 14, 2010.
