Technically, Leonardo is not an ISS module -- at least not yet. When and if NASA makes the decision to <A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum30/HTML/000371.html" TARGET=_blank>leave Leonardo</A> at the station with the final shuttle mission, then perhaps a Leonardo-specific patch might be created as part of its conversion from an MPLM to a Permanent Logistics Module (PLM).</TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
