You try the Rassvyet

The Russian module Rassvyet (MIM-1/MRM-1) continues with the electrical tests and of pressurization in the head office of the company Astrotech (earlier Spacehab) in End Cane plantation. Also there has been prepared the sluice and the radiator that must settle in the future module Nauka (MLM) and that will travel together with the Rassvyet. This module will be connected to the ISS by the ferry Atlantis during his last mission (STS-132) next May. It will be the second occasion in which a North American ferry throws a Russian module. The first one took place in 1995 when the Atlantis connected the module DM to the Mir. Rassvyet came to Florida from the head office of RKK Energy last December.
