The Tiangong space station has a 5-meter (16.4 ft) robotic arm on the Wentian module for tasks requiring high precision, like supporting spacewalks, transferring experiments, and installing small hardware, as well as a 10-meter (33 ft) arm on the Tianhe module and two smaller indexing arms for module relocation. Function and Purpose
High-Precision Tasks:
This smaller arm is more agile and 5 times more accurate in positioning than the larger arm, making it ideal for delicate tasks.
Support for Extravehicular Activities (EVAs):
It assists astronauts during spacewalks by transferring hardware and providing support.
External Maintenance:
It can help with the maintenance and repair of the station’s exterior and the Xuntian optical space telescope.
Hardware Transfer:
It retrieves and installs scientific instruments and other hardware on the station’s external points from the Mengtian module’s cargo airlock.
Key Features
Location: Mounted on the Wentian module.
Length: 5 meters (approximately 16.4 feet).
Payload Capacity: Can carry payloads of up to three tonnes (3.3 tons), though this is about one-eighth of the larger arm’s capacity.
Camera: Equipped with a camera to allow for scanning and examining the exterior of the stat
