La Base mobile (MBS) canadienne constitue une plate-forme mobile et un poste d'entreposage à l'intention des astronautes pendant les sorties extravéhiculaires. La MBS est équipée de quatre bornes électromécaniques, elle peut donc simultanément servir de base pour le Canadarm2 et pour le Manipulateur agile spécialisé. Puisqu'elle sera montée sur un transporteur mobile de fabrication américaine, la MBS pourra déplacer ces éléments clés vers le poste de travail requis en glissant sur des rails installés sur toute la largeur de la Station.
