Robotic Arm "Waves" at The Moon | International Space Station

The Canadarm2 robotic arm is pictured extending from the International Space Station while orbiting 260 miles above the Pacific Ocean near the Aleutian Islands. The Canadarm2 robotic arm is 17-meters-long (55+ feet) and has a 3.7m (12 feet) high Dextre fine-tuned robotic hand attached.

The robot is operated by ground control teams at the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) headquarters outside Montreal, Quebec, and at NASA.
