Workers on the floor of the Space Station Processing Facility follow along as the overhead crane carries the Canadian robotic arm, SSRMS, on its pallet to the payload canister. The arm is feet ( meters) long when fully extended and has seven motorized joints. It is capable of handling large payloads and assisting with docking the Space Shuttle. The SSRMS is self-relocatable with a Latching End Effector, so it can be attached to complementary ports spread throughout the Station’s exterior surfaces. The SSRMS is part of the payload on mission STS-100, scheduled to launch April 19 at 2 4
