Workers in the Space Station Processing Facility move the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS), also known as the “Canadian arm,” to a pallet for testing. The SSRMS is part of Canada’s Mobile Servicing System, an essential component of the International Space Station. This robotic system will play a key role in Space Station assembly and maintenance, moving equipment and supplies around the Station, releasing and capturing satellites, supporting astronauts working in space and servicing instruments and other payloads attached to the Space Station. SSRMS will be on Shuttle mission STS-100, flight 6A, to the Space Station, scheduled for launch April 19, 2001
