Shuttle-era cargo module to become deep space habitat prototype [i]A cargo container that was built to fly on NASA's space shuttles is being repurposed as a prototype for a deep space habitat. Lockheed Martin announced it will refurbish the Donatello multi-purpose logistics module (MLPM), transforming from it from its original, unrealized role as a supply conveyor for the International Space Station to a test and training model of a living area for astronauts working beyond Earth orbit. The work is being done under a public-private partnership between the aerospace corporation and NASA.[/i]
