Canadian Facts and Trivia - THE PEOPLE AND THE HISTORY
Canada’s unique contribution to space travel is the Canadarm, a robotic arm used to capture, move or otherwise deploy satellites and other payloads in space.

It was used aboard space shuttles for 30 years, before the fleet was decommissioned in 2011. Its successor, Canadarm2, remains in use aboard the International Space Station.
