1981 - 2011, Canadarm

Canadarm1, Canada's most famous robotic and technological achievement, debuted on November 13, 1981. It is a robotic arm used to move or carry cargo, people, and more in space, which began Canada's collaboration with NASA. 

"[In 2011] The Shuttle's Canadarm wrapped up 30 years of successful operations when it was retired along with the Space Shuttle program after mission STS-135, which marked the robotic arm's 90th flight. The arm's legacy lives on, though, since it established Canada's international reputation for robotics innovation and know-how and generated the family of Canadian robotics on board the International Space Station (ISS), as well as future generations to come. Its excellent performance record has inspired several generations of scientists and engineers as they develop new technologies for industry, medicine, and other applications."
