Canada’s Dextre Completes Marathon Week of Robotics Ops on ISS by Chris Bergin on 05 Sep, 2011 01:45

An absolutely superb article on Dextre's recent work and roles to come, by Pete Harding (and this will easily explain why he's known as Mr ISS - this is unbeatable on info):

Wow...acronym heaven.
A very nice capability from Canada.
I think one thing people don't always realize about Dextre is that he's big - around twice the size in each direction of an adult human. When you see him (it?) attached to that giant station, the size isn't readily apparent. -

good job Pete. This does show the steady marathon jogging pace of station operations now compared to the sprint rate that shuttle EVA/robotics took place. Will be interesting to cover.

Nice article, but I miss the personal touch of Dextre's tweets

That is a brilliant article. It's like a bunch of presentations and briefings put into a blender and and a nice smoothie is presented with an acronym slice on top

Thanks, folks (I love that description, Launch Fan)!
And I did consider referring to Dextre as "he" not "it", just for rdale.

Would Dextre be a good candidate for ISS fluids, and fuels re-supply? Such a system could be setup.
