The six astronauts completed a 12-day mission aboard space shuttle Atlantis in May. It was the third shuttle mission of 2010 and the last scheduled flight for Atlantis. The mission, designated STS-132, delivered the Russian-built Mini Research Module-1 to the International Space Station. Also known as Rassvet (the Russian word for "dawn"), the module provides additional storage space and a new docking port for Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. The mission's three spacewalks focused on replacing and installing components outside the station, including replacing six batteries, installing a communications antenna and adding parts to the Canadian Dextre robotic arm.
