ISS robotic arm stops working

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

The Canadarm2, the large robotic arm aboard the International Space Station, has stopped working, according to an Ars Technica report. The arm is critical for capturing cargo spacecraft, moving equipment and supporting spacewalks, so a failure would complicate station operations. Details on the cause of the failure and whether engineers can restore it have not been made clear.

Why now: A failure of a critical ISS system naturally draws attention and raises questions about station operations and repairs.
