Le Système d'entretien mobile (SEM, ou MSS en anglais, pour Mobile Servicing System) de la Station spatiale internationale se veut la contribution canadienne à ce méga-projet de construction spatiale. [...] Ce système regroupe cinq composantes : deux bras robotisés, une base mobile, un poste de commande et un système de vision artificielle. La pièce maîtresse est le Télémanipulateur (SSRMS en anglais, pour Space Station Remote Manipulator System) long de 17,6 mètres, doté de 7 articulations motorisées et capable de manœuvrer une charge aussi lourde qu'une navette spatiale. 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27entretien%20mobile
