The Canadian Space Agency has announced through a blog post that the Canadarm2 on the International Space Station has suffered a space debris hit with some minor damage.

This week the Terranauts podcast focuses on 35 years of robotic technology development for space seen through the eyes of MDA’s Chief Technology Officer, Cameron Ower.

If there is one space technology Canadian’s can readily identify, it is the Canadarm. While it’s not the only technology and capability Canada produces, it is nonetheless important.

As expected the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has awarded MDA a contract to cover their work in supporting the operations and maintenance of the Mobile Servicing System on the International Space Station (ISS).

At 11:50 p.m. ET a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) to deliver supplies.

Ken Podwalski, the program manager for the Lunar Gateway at the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) gave his potato salad talk at last weeks Canadian Space Summit. It surprisingly made sense, though Ken’s optimism might not be shared by all.

Early this morning, two US astronauts used the Canadarm2 on the International Space Station to capture an important resupply spacecraft loaded with new scientific equipment and supplies for the crew.

The Canadarm2 on the International Space Station captured the SpaceX dragon cargo resupply spacecraft early this morning shortly after its arrival.

A Latching End Effector (LEE) ground spare, or as it’s sometimes referred to, the “robotic hand”, and which sits at each end of the Canadarm2, is being launched to the International Space Station (ISS) tomorrow onboard a SpaceX cargo resupply mission.

Yesterdays spacewalk successfully completed a choreographed series of movements over three spacewalks since last fall to swap MDA built Latching End Effector’s (LEE) from the Canadarm2 to its Mobile Base System and stow one for a return to Earth.
