View of SSMRS and Dextre
ISS039-E-016800 (30 April 2014) --- Backdropped against a cloudy portion of Earth, the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator -- the Canadian Space Agency’s robotic “handyman” AKA Dextre -- and the Canadarm2 or Space Station Remote Manipulator System arm take a "rest" after completing a task 225 miles above the home planet. Robotic ground controllers used the Canadarm2 and Dextre to remove the High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) payload from the trunk of the SpaceX Dragon, seen in the top portion of the photo. HDEV was installed on the nadir adapter on the European Space Agency's Columbus exposed facility (out of frame).
