Robotics innovation is Canada’s ongoing contribution to the International Space Station program. The Canadian-built Mobile Servicing System (MSS), better known by its primary component Canadarm2, is a robotic system and associated equipment on the International Space Station (ISS). Launched to the ISS in 2001, it plays a key role in station assembly and maintenance; it moves equipment and supplies around the station, supports astronauts working in space, and services instruments and other payloads attached to the ISS. This system consists of Canadarm2, Dextre and the Mobile Base.

The astronaut depicted on the 5 Canadian dollar note represents all Canadians who have contributed to the space program and courage of all Canadian astronauts the scientific research conducted on board the International Space Station. This image also depicts the courage and commitment of all Canadian astronauts.
