Space Station's main robotic arm stops working

Original: The large robotic arm on the International Space Station has stopped working

The Canadarm2, the large robotic arm used to capture cargo ships and move astronauts around the exterior of the International Space Station, has stopped working. The failure raises concerns about resupply operations and station maintenance, which depend heavily on the arm. Engineers are reportedly assessing the problem and possible fixes.

Why now: The arm is essential for station operations, so its failure has major implications for spaceflight.
