Canadarm2 – Images of a 10-Year History

2009-11-19 - Shuttle Mission STS-129 featured an over thirteen-and-a-half thousand kilogram payload of spare parts stored in the two Express Logistics Carriers stowed in the cargo bay of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Canadarm2 grappled both carriers to the Space Station and assisted space walking astronauts as they carried out their work. In this image, NASA astronaut Robert Satcher has a look at the end effector of the robotic arm. (Credit: NASA)
