MS Hadfield works at the RMS controls on the flight deck of Endeavour during RMS handshake
Summary
S100-E-5901 (28 April 2001) --- Astronaut Chris A. Hadfield, mission specialist, is pictured on the aft flight deck of the Space Shuttle Endeavour during an historic event. A Canadian “handshake in space” occurred at 4:02 p.m (CDT), April 28, 2001, as the Canadian-built space station robotic arm – operated by Expedition Two flight engineer Susan J. Helms – transferred its launch cradle over to Endeavour’s robotic arm, with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Hadfield at the controls. The exchange of the pallet from station arm to shuttle arm marked the first ever robot-to-robot transfer in space. This image was recorded with a digital still camera.
