Would be pretty sad to see it go to waste Strip away the NASA PR and what exactly did it accomplish? Might have missed that but...Robonaut basically broke down weeks after it was launched to the ISS and has very, very infrequently undergone unsuccessful repair attempts in the years since. Just a wall decoration at this point. Not really sure why it existed in the first place, but it really never had even a slight chance to do whatever it was supposed or hope to do

So, it looks like people in suits are still going to be called upon to effect repairs and such outside, on long voyages.
Well, the article that was originally mentioned in this thread says that Robonaut broke down when they tried to add the legs (because of issues with the upgrade). So while there may be other issues and limitations it kinda seems like that was why they stopped using it?

So while there may be other issues and limitations it kinda seems like that was why they stopped using it?Why did it need legs... in space?To attach itself to structure while having two hands for dexterity. Another solutions could of course be devised, but the whole advertised point of Robonaut was to use an anthropomorphic figure in order to better utilize ISS' external interfaces, which were designed for human use (although, as we know, not so much for using both hands and feet at the same time, so the whole point of Robonaut was a bit dubious at best).
Preparations for #CRS14 launch are on-going. One week from now, March 12, @ASIM_Payload is going into the Dragon trunk at @SpaceX PPF, Cape Canaveral. Payload preps will be done March 9.
Costa Rica will launch on April 2 its first satellite to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral, Florida, U.S.A.This initiative known as Irazu Project ... was designed to help with different environmental investigations....Since February 21 the device was delivered to the Japanese Agency for Aerospace Exploration (JAXA) which will be in charge of sending it to space together with other satellites and the supply equipment for the International Space Station (ISS) on April 2.American company SpaceX is in charge of the launching, which will be done with the famous rocket Falcon 9.

@ASIM_Payload is in the #CRS14 Dragon Trunk. Secured and continuity on the heater connectors. Thanks @SpaceX. Great work. We are go for launch
After a busy weekend, our #SpaceStormHunter is GO for launch on April 2 🚀 The 314 kg of the @ASIM_Payload are now sitting inside @SpaceX's #CRS14 Dragon at Cape Canaveral. All connections looking good! 👍asim.dk/payload.php
So Dragon is being mated to the second stage in the SPIF? Or is this just an adapter mate? Or have I mis-interpreted and this is in the spacecraft addition at SLC 40? - Ed Kyle
Stephanie Murphy and Mark Gittleman, Alpha Space Test and Research Alliance – Murphy, founder of Alpha Space, and Gittleman, the company’s president and chief executive officer, will discuss Alpha Space’s Materials International Space Station Experiment flight facility (MISSE-FF). MISSE will be permanently installed on the exterior of the orbiting laboratory and provide the ability to test materials, coatings, and components in the harsh environment of space, with flight opportunities for experimenters approximately every six months. Testing on MISSE may benefit a variety of industries, including advanced manufacturing of products ranging from protective clothing for astronauts to solar cells. Kim de Groh, NASA’s Glenn Research Center – De Groh, a senior materials research engineer, will talk about how exposing 138 polymer and composite samples to the space environment, via MISSE-FF, will provide critical data to improve predictions of materials durability for spacecraft and component lifetimes in low-Earth orbit.
