The Challenge problem for 2009, titled Protecting Canada's Coastal Border, was proposed by MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates (MDA), the aerospace and financial products company that built the Canadarm, Radarsat-2 and image processing systems used for Google Earth.
His technical assignments included support crew for STS-3, concept development studies for the Space Operations Center, and the coordination of various aspects of the final development of the Remote Manipulator System ("Canadarm") for operational use.
From inside Endeavour, Canadian Mission Specialist Marc Garneau used the Canadarm to remove the P6 truss from the payload bay, maneuvering it into an overnight park position to warm its components.
