Canadarm2 Repairs Planned as Cargo Resupply Mission Departs ISS
The Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station have seen yet another busy month of spacewalks, science experiments, and maintenance tasks. The CRS-34 mission undocked from ISS on Tuesday, June 16, at 16:25 UTC prior to its successful splashdown off of southern California the following day. An upcoming maintenance task for the crew involves the Canadarm2 robotic arm, which is currently not operational due to issues with an arm joint, and will be repaired during
The Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS) is preparing for repairs to the Canadarm2 robotic arm, which has been non-operational due to a joint issue. The CRS-34 Cargo Dragon mission successfully undocked from the ISS on June 16. Astronauts are scheduled to conduct an extravehicular activity (EVA) on June 30 to replace the faulty wrist joint, using a spare part stored externally. A functional Canadarm2 is essential for capturing incoming cargo spacecraft and performing external maintenance. Meanwhile, NASA provided updates on the Artemis program, including plans to test Axiom Space's AxEMU spacesuits on the ISS next year.
The planned repair of the Canadarm2 is crucial for maintaining the operational capabilities of the International Space Station, impacting future cargo deliveries and external maintenance tasks.
