The original robotic arm made by the Canadian Space Agency was used to launch satellites like this one. Astronauts controlled the arm from inside the International Space Station.

This new robotic arm was scheduled to be added to the International Space Station in 2015. It is even more versatile than the original.

Like many parts of the space program, Canadarm helped on Earth, too. The skills and techniques engineers learned making it helped them develop new robot tools for surgeons. Patients cared for by those surgeons can also give Canada a hand!

In 2013, the Canadarm was retired from service. A new robot arm created by the European Space Agency will take over. This crane-like robot will play a big part in the expansion of the station in years to come.
