iss066e078371 (Nov. 17, 2021) --- The International Space Station's robotic manipulator system, the 57.7-foot-long Canadarm2 robotic arm is pictured with the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM, or Dextre) attached. The robotic arm can move heavy station gear, maneuver astronauts during spacewalks, and capture and release visiting cargo ships at the station. Dextre, a fine-tuned robotic hand, performs more delicate maintenance tasks including replacing batteries and cameras.
