ISS's main robotic arm has stopped working

Original: The large robotic arm on the International Space Station has stopped working

The Canadarm2, the large robotic arm on the International Space Station, has reportedly stopped working. The arm is critical for capturing cargo spacecraft, moving equipment and supporting spacewalks, so a failure would be a significant operational problem for the station's crews and their backers at NASA and the Canadian Space Agency. Details on the cause and possible fixes remain limited.

Why now: A failure of a critical ISS system has immediate implications for station operations and resupply missions.
