MS. STILSON: Barbara from Baltimore asks how big is the Raffaello module and how much will it hold?
MR. HIGGINBOTHAM: Raffaello is about 22 feet long, 15 feet in diameter and on this flight in the configuration we're flying,
it weighs about 18,000 pounds. Now, MPLMs can carry up to 16 racks of stuff, but on this flight we're only carrying 12.
Because we had so much other stuff we wanted to carry in the payload bay, we had to limit the number of racks that we flew on board.
However, on this flight, we are carrying up, again, 2500 pounds of cargo on the MPLM, and we're carrying down about 5,000 pounds of cargo.
