Canadarm2 has operated continuously for more than 25 years and was designed with replaceable components and planned maintenance.

Canadarm2’s wrist joint malfunctioned during normal operations on May 27, when the arm drew elevated motor current and did not move as expected.

NASA and the Canadian Space Agency determined that a spacewalk was required to replace the Canadarm2 wrist joint using a spare already on board the International Space Station.

The Canadarm2 wrist joint malfunctioned during normal operations on May 27, when the arm drew elevated motor current and did not move as expected.

NASA astronauts Chris Williams and Jessica Meir will carry out the June 30 spacewalk from the station’s Quest airlock.

A spare wrist joint for Canadarm2 is already on board the International Space Station.

NASA worked with the Canadian Space Agency to determine that a spacewalk was required to replace the Canadarm2 wrist joint using a spare already on board the International Space Station.

NASA worked with the Canadian Space Agency to understand the Canadarm2 wrist joint issue and determined that a spacewalk was required to replace the joint.

Two NASA astronauts will conduct a spacewalk outside the International Space Station on Tuesday, June 30, to replace a wrist joint on the station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm.

The June 30 activity will be the 280th spacewalk in support of space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.

NASA astronauts Chris Williams and Jessica Meir will perform the spacewalk from the station’s Quest airlock.

The June 30 spacewalk will be the second spacewalk for Chris Williams and the fifth for Jessica Meir.

Pegasus is an air-launched rocket that is released from an L-1011 Stargazer aircraft.

Northrop Grumman built the Swift observatory at its Gilbert, Arizona site.

The Pegasus mission to Swift will launch from Kwajalein Atoll.

Pegasus can operate without relying on a single launch site.

Pegasus has flown more than 45 launches since 1990.

Katalyst Space’s LINK spacecraft will attempt to rendezvous with Swift and boost it to a higher orbit in June.

Northrop Grumman’s Pegasus rocket is slated for a rapid-response mission to keep NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory operational.

Northrop Grumman plans a complete avionics upgrade for Pegasus.
