Odyssey Moon executives toured the MDA high bay area during meetings last week in Brampton, Canada. The famous Space Shuttle remote manipulator system ("Canadarm") was built here and continues to be maintained here between missions (its joint and arm segment can be seen foreground).

The yellow structures in the background were the support structure for "DEXTRE", a remarkably sophisticated human-like robot that is now attached to the International Space Station for repair and service operations.

MDA is the prime contractor for Odyssey Moon's lunar mission.

(Maybe next time they should get one of the robots to take the picture so Bob can be in it...)
