	Advanced Space Vision System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basic elements of the system were devised at the National Research Council of Canada in the 1970s, to study car collisions.
		The system was first tested in its early form on STS-52 in October 1992, and used in subsequent missions.
		The system has been used with success on shuttle flights since then, and with equal success for the assembly and maintenance of the station since 1997.

	International Space Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is serviced primarily by the Space Shuttle, Soyuz and Progress spacecraft units.
		There is also a large unpressurized truss system partially in place that will eventually support the prominent solar arrays.
		However, the Soyuz lacks the raw cargo space of the shuttle, and because the ISS had not been serviced by a shuttle for an extended period, a large amount of waste accumulated which temporarily hindered station operations.

		Building on the success of the SRMS, Canada's contribution to the ISS program is the Mobile Servicing System (MSS) which is also a manipulator system, mounted on a mobile base on the Space Station.
		The MSS will be used for assembly and repair tasks, Shuttle docking, Station inspection, equipment transport, astronaut transport during EVA's (extravehicular activities).
		The MSS is expected to work through the life of the ISS itself - at least 10 years.

		Servicing missions are used to swap out failed hardware, perform upgrades, and to counter atmospheric drag by boosting the telescope back into a higher orbit.
		Servicing Mission 4, planned for February 2005, was due to be the last servicing mission, as Hubble reached the end of its life expectancy.
		The last component of the system is the recently completed Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator which is nearly an "off-the-shelf" answer to the requirements of the repair mission.

	CSA - MSS: Mobile Servicing System
		The MSS consists of three main elements: the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS), known as Canadarm2, the Mobile Base System (MBS), and the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM).
		The SPDM, a smaller two-arm robot will enable the Mobile Servicing System to perform delicate operations and reduce the amount of time that astronauts and cosmonauts spend working outside the ISS in the hostile space environment.
		The Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS), known as Canadarm2, is the first component of the Mobile Servicing System.

	ISS Systems
		This robotic system plays a key role in space station assembly and maintenance by moving equipment and supplies around the station, releasing and capturing satellites, supporting astronauts working in space, and servicing instruments and other payloads attached to the space station.
		The system is designed to reduce the time it will take to assemble, service, supply, and run the station, and to increase safety by reducing the number of spacewalks required to get those jobs done.
		The Russian system is generally responsible for Guidance, which constitutes telling the ISS which route to follow from point A to point B. The Navigation portion of the U.S. Guidance, Navigation and Control system primarily relies on the Global Positioning System (or GPS) data to determine ISS position, velocity and attitude.

	SSRMS
		The Mobile Servicing System was a further development of the highly successful NASA Space Shuttle RMS system, both provided by the Canadian Space Agency.
		There were also two other robot arm systems planned for the ISS, one the European Robotic Arm planned for the Russian segment Science Power Platform, and the Japanese Experiment Module Remote Manipluator.
		The MSS is controlled using the RWS from either the Lab or the Cupola.
