Brittany’s Favourite Things

Taryn Tomlinson was raised in Campbell River. When she went to school her arrival school was Valley View. Her favourite subjects were science and math. She couldn’t decide what to do when she grew up. But she finally decided what to do. That’s how she began robotics engineering.

Dextre was built like Lego. On Dextre there is a flag from Japan. All this time Dextre has been in Space it’s been only testing. Can you believe it; it has been testing for one year. It hasn’t even been in real work only testing WOW.

The Canadarm2 has been catching little Space Pod like things called Free Flyers. If a Free Flyer floats by the Canadarm2 has 90 seconds to catch the Free Flyer, that’s a minute and a half. That’s not long so it has to catch it quickly. If it misses it has to wait until the Free Flyer floats by again.

This webcast was very interesting. I can’t wait until the next webcast.
