What Wikipedia says

The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) was a large pressurized container that was used on Space Shuttle missions to transfer cargo to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Two MPLMs made a dozen trips in the Shuttle cargo bay, initially berthed to the Unity and later the Harmony module on the ISS.
