KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Workers in the Space Station Processing Facility remove a cover from the Mobile Remote Servicer Base System (MBS), part of the Canadian Space Agency’s (CSA) Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS). The MBS is scheduled to be launched in February 2002 on flight UF-2 to the International Space Station. The MBS will complete the Canadian Mobile Servicing System, or MSS.
