Dextre resembles a headless torso fitted with two extremely agile, arms.

Either of these can be used as a base for the two robots, Canadarm2 and Dextre, as well as any of the payloads that might be held by the robots.

The body has a grapple fixture at one end that can be grasped by the larger Space Station Arm, Canadarm2 so that Dextre can be positioned at the various Orbital Replacement Unit ( ORU ) worksites around the Space Station.

The other end of the body has an end effector virtually identical to that of Canadarm2, so that Dextre can be stored on Space Station grapple fixtures Unit / Tool Changeout Mechanism ( OTCM ).

The Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator, or Canada Hand ( a. k. a. " Dextre "), is a smaller two-armed robot capable of handling the delicate assembly tasks currently handled by astronauts during space walks.

In the early morning of February 4, 2011, Dextre completed its first official assignment which consisted in unpacking two pieces for Kounotori 2 while the on-board crew was sleeping.

After the spacewalk, crew members hooked Dextre back up to the station robotic arm to keep it warm and to allow NASA to perform tests to ensure all of Dextre's electronics were working properly.

The " Spacelab Pallet-Deployable 1 ( SLP-D1 ) with Canadian Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator, Dextre " was launched on STS-123.

The International Space Station ( ISS ) uses a two armed telemanipulator called Dextre.

STS-123 delivered the first module of the Japanese laboratory, Kibō, and the Canadian Dextre robot to the space station.

The Universidad Científica del Sur was founded in 1996 by a Promoting Association led by José Carlos Dextre Chacón and an Organizing Commission led by Fernando Cabieses.

The current president of the board is José Carlos Dextre Chacón.

Dextre, also known as the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator ( SPDM ), is a two armed robot, or telemanipulator, which is part of the Mobile Servicing System on the International Space Station ( ISS ), and extends the function of this system to replace some activities otherwise requiring spacewalks.

Dextre is part of Canada's contribution to the ISS and is named to represent its dexterous nature.

Dextre was designed and manufactured by MacDonald Dettwiler.

The lower body of Dextre has a pair of orientable colour TV cameras with lights, a platform for stowing ORUs, and a tool holster.

Dextre was designed and manufactured by MDA Space Missions as contracted by the Canadian Space Agency, which will oversee its future operations and the necessary training of station crews.

Dextre was launched to the ISS on March 11, 2008 aboard Endeavour on mission STS-123.

In early August 2004 NASA declared its intention to use Dextre ( or a close copy of it ) as the robotic component for the Hubble Space Telescope rescue mission.

Dextre was the subject of an April Fool's Day joke article on April 1, 2008 on NASA's APOD website.

And no doubt many people in states like the Carolinas and Georgia, which were among the most Tory in sentiment in the eighteenth century, bitterly regretted the revolt against the Crown.

but many historians maintain that except for Northern meddling it would have ended in states like Virginia years before it did.

Because, like many other children, he intensely disliked practicing Czerny Etudes, he composed his own studies.

A dear, respected friend of mine, who like myself grew up in the South and has spent many years in New England, said to me not long ago: `` I can't forgive New England for rejecting all complicity ''.

Finally, colleges and clubs took the line that speakers from England were not wanted any longer, even speakers like S.K., so unlike the novelists and poets who had patronized the Americans for many years.

Not all recent science fiction, however, is dystopian, for the optimistic strain is still very much alive in Mission Of Gravity and Childhood's End, as we have seen, as well as in many other recent popular novels and stories like Fred Hoyle's The Black Cloud ( 1957 ) ; ;

To those of my readers who find many of my opinions morally, or politically, or sociologically antiquated ( and I have reason to know that there are some such ), I would like to say what I have already hinted, namely, that some of my opinions may indeed be subject to some discount on the simple ground that I am no longer young and therefore incapable of being youthful of mind.

He has, like so many other secular and religious culture symbols, gone over to the side of the ruling classes.

The trouble is that like many symbols it doesn't seem a very realistic one.

We believe that autism, like so many other conditions of defect and deviation, is to a large extent inborn.

Men were slaughtered every day, tumbled into eternity like so many torn parcels flung down a portable chute.

And, like many of you here present, I hold as the highlight of all, the occasion of my first meeting with the honorable Speaker of the House.

I like to make a seedbed right in the open, though many people start them successfully in cold frames.

Staley Hanover ( Knight Dream-Sweetmite Hanover ) is a little on the small side but a very compact colt and looks like one to stand training and many future battles with colts in his class.

many experienced hunters like this gauge and type of scattergun too.

She also banks into a turn like a fine runabout -- not digging in on the outside to throw passengers all over the boat like many a small cabin cruiser.

We want to know when the Potlatches telephone exactly how many they are planning to bring, so that we won't end up with a splashing mob that looks like Coney Island in August.

Soon we were deep in a conversation that was interrupted many times by little things like Jennie's holding her breath and pretending to black out, Miranda's dumping the contents of the sugar bowl on the table, and various screeches, thuds, and giggles.

In the 1860 - 70 decade there are many poems like `` Revulsion '', but there is only one `` Neutral Tones ''.

No doubt many of the citizens of the Third Reich had conceived their anti-Semitism as an `` innocent '' dislike of Jews, as do others like them today.

not like the cracker-box construction of so many of the motel units that have stucco all over the outside but walls that are thin enough so you can hear every movement of the people in the adjoining apartment.

He wasn't like so many other men.

If laborers are merely commodities competing against each other in a market place like so many bags of wheat and corn ( unsupported, by the way, by any agricultural subsidy ), then they may be pardoned for reacting with complete antagonism to a system that imposes such status upon them.

`` Behind that Charlie Chaplin moustache and that truant lock of hair that always covered his forehead, behind the tirades and the sulky silences, the passionate orations and the occasional dull evasive stare, behind the prejudices, the cynicism, the total amorality of behavior, behind even the tendency to great strategic mistakes, there lay a statesman of no mean qualities: Shrewd, calculating, in many ways realistic, endowed -- like Stalin -- with considerable powers of dissimulation, capable of playing his cards very close to his chest when he so desired, yet bold and resolute in his decisions, and possessing one gift Stalin did not possess: The ability to rouse men to fever pitch of personal devotion and enthusiasm by the power of the spoken word ''.
