Time flies! Canadarm, Canadas most famous robotic and technological achievement, made its space debut on the Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-2) on November 13, 1981. The design and building of the arm marked the beginning of Canadas close collaboration with NASA in human space flight by allowing the creation of Canada’s Astronaut Corps–a sterling example of successful international cooperation in space. After 90 missions and nearly 30 years of faithful service in space, the arm completed its operations on July 21, 2011, along with the Space Shuttle program. A retired Canadarm is now on display and can be admired at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, our nation’s capital (2nd photo)!
