The Shuttle Remote Manipulator System consists of a shoulder, elbow and wrist joint separated by an upper and lower arm boom. The shoulder joint has two degrees of freedom, the elbow joint has one degree of freedom, and the wrist joint has up to three degrees of freedom. At a total weight of approximately 905 lbs., the Canadarm has recently been upgraded to maneuver payloads of up to 266, 000 kgs.(in the weightlessness of space). Canadarm uses an end effector with a specially designed grapple fixture to capture payloads and place them in orbit. 1, record 1, English, - Canadarm

Le télémanipulateur de la navette spatiale (SRMS) est un système de manipulation de charges utiles à six degrés de liberté. [...] Le SRMS est encore plus articulé que le bras humain et peut effectuer des manœuvres très complexes. Les moteurs des articulations sont munis de leurs propres systèmes de freinage et de contrôle de vitesse de mouvement. Chaque articulation est également équipée d'un encodeur qui sert à mesurer précisément l'angle d'ouverture des articulations. Ainsi, les articulations sont indépendantes les unes des autres et peuvent bouger à des vitesses différentes et dans des directions différentes. 3, record 1, French, - Canadarm

Un gyroscope est essentiellement constitué d'un solide de révolution animé d'un mouvement de rotation rapide autour de son axe de symétrie. Le solide de révolution est appelé rotor ou toupie gyroscopique. Dans un grand nombre de cas d'utilisation concrète, le rotor doit pouvoir prendre n'importe quelle position dans l'espace. À cet effet on rend le rotor solidaire du boîtier qui le contient au moyen d'un système de deux cadres mobiles l'un par rapport à l'autre. Ce montage à deux degrés de liberté ne tient pas compte du degré de liberté relatif à la rotation du rotor autour de son axe. C'est ce montage qui est utilisé dans l'horizon artificiel. 1, record 3, French, - montage%20%C3%A0%20deux%20degr%C3%A9s%20de%20libert%C3%A9
