The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum debuted Robonaut-2 (R2), NASA's first dexterous humanoid robot flown into space, on Thursday (Oct. 24). The two-armed, two-legged robotic testbed launched to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Discovery's final mission in 2011. R2 is now on exhibit at the Steven F.

I thought Robonaut-2 was returning to the ISS, via a Dragon cargo spacecraft. |

Just at Udvar-Hazy for the first time this past week!. What a great museum and in my opinion, much better than the downtown building. So much bigger and so many planes, probes, missiles and space artifacts to spend many hours being blown away. Just the sheer number of crafts amazing, but all the smaller displays telling the history of flight as good.Saw that robot and the two Mars landers on display. If in D.C. it is a quick trip from highway and ample parking next to the hangars. | |
