Canadarm
El Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS) (en español, Sistema remoto manipulador espacial), también conocido como Canadarm (acrónimo en inglés de «Canadabrazo»), retroactivamente llamado Canadarm1, es una serie de brazos robóticos que fueron utilizados en el transbordador espacial para desplegar, maniobrar y capturar cargas.
The Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS), also known as Canadarm (an acronym for “Canadian arm”), retroactively named Canadarm1, is a series of robotic arms that were used on the space shuttle to deploy, maneuver, and capture cargo.

Después del accidente del transbordador espacial Columbia, el Canadarm se empleaba siempre junto al Sistema sensor de la pluma del orbitador (OBSS), el cual fue usado para inspeccionar los daños en el sistema de protección térmica del exterior del transbordador.
After the Columbia space shuttle accident, the Canadarm was always used in conjunction with the Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS), which was used to inspect damage to the shuttle's external thermal protection system.
After the Space Shuttle Columbia accident, Canadarm was always used alongside the Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS), which was used to inspect for damage to the thermal protection system outside the shuttle.
