Canadarm
Shuttle's robotic limb
Canadarm is a robotic arm developed by Canada for NASA's Space Shuttle program, used to deploy and retrieve satellites, move cargo, and support astronauts during spacewalks.
The name combines Canada with arm, reflecting its national origin and function.
A more advanced version, Canadarm2, operates on the International Space Station.
The technology has become a symbol of Canadian contributions to space exploration and appears on the Canadian five-dollar bill.
