So they’re literally replacing a wrist joint?? wild
I don’t get why they need a briefing for it, just do the spacewalk. Also isn’t Canadarm2 on the ISS already? Feels like they’re making a big deal out of something small.
Wait, wrist joint swap sounds like a regular robot repair but they’re doing it outside?? Is this like for NASA’s new robot hand they’re putting on the capsule or something? I saw “Canadarm2” and assumed it was on a different station.
June 30 at 8:35am ET… so like 5:35am my time? I tried to follow the email thing but it says contact jsccommu@mail.nasa.gov and I’m like wait is that real or a typo. Also “technical briefing previews” makes it sound like they’ll show the whole spacewalk, but it’s probably just talking. Either way I hope they don’t screw up the wrist part lol
