Canadarm2

Officially known as the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS), Canadarm2 was launched on STS-100 in April 2001. This second generation arm is a larger, more advanced version of the Space Shuttle's original Canadarm. Canadarm2 is 17.6 m when fully extended and has seven motorized joints (an 'elbow' hinge in the middle, and three rotary joints at each of the 'wrist/shoulder' ends).
