Abstract The International Space Station (ISS) program has manifested a Multipurpose Logistics Module (MPLM) on five launch packages since 2001, with the next flight scheduled for the STS-114 mission. The MPLM has been deployed each time on the nadir docking port of node 1 by the space shuttle for a period of 5–6 days, and then returned to Earth for refurbishment prior to the next resupply mission. MPLM flight module 1 (Leonardo) and flight module 2 (Raffaello) have accumulated about 700 h of low Earth orbit (LEO) exposure time on the ISS. Through five missions, there have been two perforations of the aluminum outer wall of the MPLM shielding and 24 craters due to meteoroid/orbital debris impact.
