iss072e188838 (Nov. 9, 2024) --- The fine-tuned robotic hand, better known as Dextre, is attached to the Canadarm2 robotic arm and carries the CODEX experiment (center) after extracting the research hardware from the trunk of the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft. CODEX, a solar coronagraph installed on the International Space Station, will gather important information about the solar wind and how it forms. A coronagraph blocks out the bright light from the Sun to better see details in the Sun's outer atmosphere, or corona.
