Endeavor Mission Update: Dextre Assembled
	After two days of continuous work, NASA states that the Canadian robot Dextre assembly has been completed. Dextre put out quite a fight on the first spacewalk, when it suffered a power loss which stopped the crew of STS-123 from putting it together. Without power, Dextre was unable to heat the joints of its body, fact that could have resulted in a potential malfunction. Yesterday, while part of the crew was preparing for the sche ...

Dextre to Ride Along with Kibo
	Also to be delivered to the International Space Station will be the robot Dextre, a Canadian creation which will give the crew of the ISS the ability to make basic repairs and maintenance outside the station, without the need of conducting risky spacewalks. The Endeavor space shuttle will have the mammoth mission to carry the first section of the massive Kibo science laboratory, more precisely the Japanese Logics Pressurized (JLP) Module, ...
