The Canadarm2 is partially silhouetted against an orbital sunrise

iss073e0490038 (July 22, 2025) --- The International Space Station's 57.7-foot-long robotic arm, also known as the Canadarm2, is partially silhouetted against an orbital sunrise 271 miles above the Indian Ocean south of Australia's island state of Tasmania. Attached to the Canadarm2's latching end effector is Dextre (top right), the fine-tuned robotic hand that performs precise maintenance capabilities on the orbital outpost, including removing and replacing small parts and performing photographic inspections, reducing the need for time-intensive spacewalks.
