Canadarm Company Bidding on Hubble Repair

Posted by michael on from the give-them-a-hand dept.

mhotchin writes "The Globe and Mail says that NASA has evaluated all the submissions for a robot repair mission to Hubble, and the only bid requested is from the Canadian company that developed the Canadarm. It appears they would copy the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator ('Dexter'), developed for ISS, as the main unit for the repairs."

    Your comment is obviously not 'Canadian'. You didn't get the slang right. The correct quote would be:

    Sure, we can fix your satellite for you. But, it'll cost you a couple'a twofours and some "blues", eh.
