The Montreal Gazette has a story about the Canadian Space Agency’s Dextre robot, which was launched aboard the space shuttle Endeavour on Tuesday. The robot will be attached to the International Space Station, where it will do maintenance work currently done by space walking astronauts.
“We’re pretty excited by how things are progressing so far,” said CSA’s Andrew Keenan. “We’ve got a successful launch, everything looks great. And we’re just looking forward to talking to Dextre for the first time.”
