Astronauts finish installing maintenance robot to space station

Washington - Two astronauts Tuesday completed the third spacewalk of the latest shuttle mission to the International Space Station, putting the finishing touches on a Canadian-built, double-armed robot. Rick Linnehan and Robert Behnken worked for nearly seven hours to equip the robot with tools and spare parts before Dextre, as the robot is called, begins to help astronauts with their spacewalks and takes over some maintenance and service work on the expanding space station.

Shuttle astronauts to assemble monstrous two-armed robot at space station

The Canadian Space Agency’s ‘Dextre’ is a space-age robot with two arms, about to blast off into space Tuesday, accompanying the seven astronauts on Endeavour. They will need to assemble Dextre in space, and attach him to the outside of the space station. Although astronauts say Dextre looks scary, without artificial intelligence ‘he’ will be controlled remotely and will be taking over some of the work that they used to do in dangerous outdoor conditions
