ISS robotic arm stops working

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

The Canadarm2, the large robotic arm on the International Space Station, has stopped working, according to a report by Ars Technica. The arm is essential for capturing cargo spacecraft, moving equipment and supporting spacewalks outside the station. Engineers are reportedly working to diagnose the fault, and the outage raises questions about operations aboard the ageing orbital outpost until the arm can be restored.

Why now: A critical piece of ISS hardware failing has immediate implications for station operations and resupply missions, drawing wide attention.
