Robotic arm gets stuck on International Space Station - could interfere with Dragon Crew-13 docking
As if to prove the legitimacy of its superstitious number 13, the Crew-13 mission to transport the next batch of astronauts to the International Space Station is once again in danger. Previously, an oxidizer leak was discovered in the propulsion system of SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, causing a flight delay of about two weeks. On the […]
NASA troubleshoots transporter on space station's robotic arm [Updated]
8 Article Rewrite: The Importance of the Robotic Arm on the International Space Station Weighing almost 2 tonnes and with a payload capacity of up to 116 tonnes, the robotic arm on the International Space Station plays a crucial role in various operations. Originally designed for delivering supplies to the station, the robotic arm is [...]
NASA reported that Canadarm2 operates as planned while investigating communication errors in components of the transporter that displaces it through the structure of the ERA. The agency and SpaceX also review whether the position of the system could interfere with the reception of GPS during the Dragon coupling, although they have not confirmed interference.
