ISS to Get a New Wrist: Astronauts Repair 25-Year-Old Canadarm2
TL;DR
Two NASA astronauts will perform a roughly six-and-a-half-hour spacewalk to replace a malfunctioning wrist joint on the Canadarm2 robotic arm at the International Space Station, part of routine maintenance on hardware that has operated for 25 years. They’ll be supported from inside by colleagues, and the swap aims to restore full arm motion and keep the station’s schedule on track.
