i saw some post teasing the canadians, that the flag on the moon doesnt show the canadian flag. well even at the time the #usa relied on suppliers from all over the west; that hasnt changed; #artemis (still) is a international endeavour.

Today marks the 35th anniversary of the #CanadianSpaceAgency

Though young by comparison to agencies like #NASA, #CSA has contributed significantly to our adventures in #space, including: creating #Canadarm 1 & 2 (a.k.a., #SRMS/#SSMS); supporting the construction of #ISS; a planned rover for #Artemis; as well as a big commitment to help build the #LunarGateway (thru Canadarm 3)

#Canada #ThisDayInSpaceHistory

When #Canada was first invited to participate in the #American Space #Shuttle Program, their contribution was not yet specified.
However, #NASA soon found a Canadian company that had built a #robotic mechanism capable of fueling a nuclear reactor: DSMA ATCON, which impressed them.
NASA asked for a remote manipulator (#RobotArm) for the #SpaceShuttle, and Canada produced a #RemoteManipulatorSystem or #Canadarm for every #SpaceShuttle, as well as a second generation for the #ISS, and a third for the #LunarGateway.

The #Canadarm remote manipulator system (or #robot #arm) was an important feature of the #Space #Shuttle, giving it the ability to grab payloads or other #spacecraft.
Canadarm was crucial in the construction of the International Space Station, which also had a #RemoteManipulatorSystem, #Canadarm2.

In the #KSC Visitors Complex #AtlantisMuseuem, #NASA’s #SpaceShuttle #Orbiter #Atlantis is displayed for the public as if were in #space.
The payload bay doors are open, the #APAS docking ring is extended, and the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System #SRMS, or #Canadarm, is stretched out of the #payloadbay for visitors to get a close look at.
This photograph shows the #endeffector, which clasped onto specially build grapple-holds so the robot arm can firmly grasp its payload.
