July 30th marked the 1000th day of human presence aboard the
International Space Station (ISS), a platform for scientific
experiments and observation of Earth and space.
"The milestone marked by the 1000th day of human presence aboard the
largest international scientific program ever undertaken is testament
of the cooperation of Canada and its partners, the U.S., Russia, Japan
and eleven European countries, helped in no small part by the Canadian
Space Agency," said CSA President Marc Garneau.
Canadian technology is playing a key role in the building of the ISS,
through the use of the Canadarm2 and its mobile base system that allows
it to move around the station. "Dextre" a multi-function two armed
robot when launched in 2005 or later will perform precision ISS
assembly tasks reducing the need for spacewalks by astronauts.
