About this work

STS088-361-021 (4-15 Dec. 1998) --- The Canadian-built Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm is about to grapple the Node 1 or Unity Module for mating to the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The move marked the first of many steps that allowed the United States-built Unity Module to be docked with the Russian-built FGB or Zarya Module later in the mission.
