"To enable a wider portfolio of tasks, the arm was built with “end effectors” – the #Canadarm version of hands – on both sides. This means it can anchor itself at either end, leaving the opposite end free to perform a task, or to find a new anchor point so that it can effectively walk its way around the outside of the station. And each attachment connects to power and data lines so that it remains alive and in constant communication with engineers on Earth."

i saw some post teasing the canadians, that the flag on the moon doesnt show the canadian flag. well even at the time the #usa relied on suppliers from all over the west; that hasnt changed; #artemis (still) is a international endeavour.

Today marks the 35th anniversary of the #CanadianSpaceAgency

Though young by comparison to agencies like #NASA, #CSA has contributed significantly to our adventures in #space, including: creating #Canadarm 1 & 2 (a.k.a., #SRMS/#SSMS); supporting the construction of #ISS; a planned rover for #Artemis; as well as a big commitment to help build the #LunarGateway (thru Canadarm 3)

History of the Canadian Space Agency - New Space Economy

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) was established on March 1, 1989, under the Canadian Space Agency Act passed by the Parliament of Canada. This marked a significant milestone in Canada's space history, formalizing the country's commitment to space exploration and technology. Prior to the formation of the CSA, Canada had already made notable contributions to space technology, including the creation of the Alouette 1 satellite in 1962, which made Canada the third country to design and build its own satellite.

When #Canada was first invited to participate in the #American Space #Shuttle Program, their contribution was not yet specified.
However, #NASA soon found a Canadian company that had built a #robotic mechanism capable of fueling a nuclear reactor: DSMA ATCON, which impressed them.
NASA asked for a remote manipulator (#RobotArm) for the #SpaceShuttle, and Canada produced a #RemoteManipulatorSystem or #Canadarm for every #SpaceShuttle, as well as a second generation for the #ISS, and a third for the #LunarGateway.

The #Canadarm remote manipulator system (or #robot #arm) was an important feature of the #Space #Shuttle, giving it the ability to grab payloads or other #spacecraft.
Canadarm was crucial in the construction of the International Space Station, which also had a #RemoteManipulatorSystem, #Canadarm2.

In the #KSC Visitors Complex #AtlantisMuseuem, #NASA’s #SpaceShuttle #Orbiter #Atlantis is displayed for the public as if were in #space.
The payload bay doors are open, the #APAS docking ring is extended, and the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System #SRMS, or #Canadarm, is stretched out of the #payloadbay for visitors to get a close look at.
This photograph shows the #endeffector, which clasped onto specially build grapple-holds so the robot arm can firmly grasp its payload.
