With the completion of the third STS-123 spacewalk, Dextre the robot has been outfitted with the tools for its work. The International Space Station’s robot arm grabbed Dextre and moved it into an overnight parking position. The new robotic system will be activated on a power and data grapple fixture located on the U.S. laboratory Destiny on flight day nine. The excursion lasted six hours and 53 minutes.    (source: nasa.gov)
