The STS 100
mission is to deliver the Space Station Remote Manipulator System
robot arm which was built by Canada. The 17.6 m (57.7 ft) Canadarm
is essential to the continued assembly of the International Space
Station (ISS). The pallet containing the arm will be mounted to
the station's Destiny lab module. Astronauts Hadfield and
Parazynski will spacewalk to bolt the sections of the arm together
and perform the re-wiring necessary to bring the Canadarm2 to
life.
