Period
Space shuttle missions began in 1981.
Canada
The cargo shuttle bay of the space shuttle is used, amongst things, for the storage of the Canadarm (or Remote Manipulator System) when it is not in use. The Canadian designed and built Canadarm was Canada's contribution to the U.S. Space Shuttle program and a successful commercial venture for Canada's space industry. The first RMS was manufactured by Canadian firms under contract to NRC and was given to NASA NASA then purchased additional units to equip all orbital vehicles. Canada's most famous robotic and technological achievement made its space debut on November 13, 1981. The design and building of the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System marks the beginning of Canada's close collaboration with NASA in manned space flight. The Canadarm project remains a sterling example of successful international space cooperation. Canadarm firmly established Canada's international reputation for robotics innovation and know-how. Its excellent performance record has inspired several generations of scientists and engineers as they develop new technologies for industry, medicine, and other applications (Ref. 2).
Function
A three dimensional representation of the cargo bay of a U.S space shuttle orbital vehicle, the area in which the Canadarm is stored.
Technical
NASA's Space Shuttle, officially called the Space Transportation System (STS), is the spacecraft currently used by the United States government for its human spaceflight missions. The first missions were in 1981 and the last are expected to be in 2010. At launch, the space shuttle consists of an External Tank (ET), two Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs), and the Orbiter, a winged spaceplane which is the space shuttle in the narrow sense. The orbiter carries astronauts and payload such as satellites or space station parts into low earth orbit, into the Earth's upper atmosphere or thermosphere. It resembles an aircraft with double delta-wings and has a large payload bay measuring 15 feet (4.6 m) by 60 feet (18.3 m) comprising most of the fuselage (Refs. 1,3).
