NASA unable to move space station's robotic arm

Original: NASA, for the time being, is unable to move the space station’s large robotic arm

NASA says it is currently unable to move the International Space Station's large robotic arm, the Canadarm2, for the time being. The arm is essential for capturing cargo spacecraft, moving equipment and supporting spacewalks outside the orbiting laboratory. Few further details about the cause of the problem or expected repair timeline have been released, and observers are waiting for updates from the agency.

Why now: A malfunction affecting a critical piece of ISS hardware raises concerns about station operations and resupply missions.
