the Canadarm is the crane-like deviced on the space shuttle orbiter that lifts items from the cargo hold and releases them into orbit. It is also used to position astronauts and mission specialists to allow to perform a specific task.

It is called the Canadarm because it was designed, developed, and manufactured by the Canadian space agency.

WRONG! It was designed, developed, manufactured and tested by Spar Aerospace Ltd., a Canadian company. I know--I was the program manager for Canadarm I.
