During the STS-132 mission, Atlantis delivered the Russian-built mini research module-1 that provides additional storage space and a new docking port for the Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft.

Three spacewalks were also undertaken to replace and install components outside the station, including replacing six batteries, installing a communications antenna and adding parts to the Canadian Dextre robotic arm.
