Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description It is much like a human arm. It has an elbow, shoulders and even wrists. The European Robotic Arm (ERA) is the first robot able to ‘walk’ around the Russian segment of the International Space Station.

Light yet powerful, the orbital arm has the ability to anchor itself to the Station and move back and forward by itself, hand-over-hand between fixed base-points. This space robot looks like a pair of compasses and has a length of over 11 m. When stretched, it could pass a football from a penalty spot to the goalkeeper.

The robot will serve as main manipulator on the Russian part of the Space Station. Its seven joints can handle multi-tonne payloads with a large range of motion for assembly tasks.

The arm and its two control stations – one for inside and another for outside the orbital outpost – will be launched into space together with the Multipurpose Laboratory Module, called ‘Nauka’, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, in Kazakhstan, on a Russian Proton rocket. The launch is set for 21 July 2021, after two decades of technical and programmatic challenges.

The robotic arm brings new ways of operating automated machines to the orbital complex. ERA has the ability to perform many tasks automatically or semi-automatically, can be directed either from inside or outside the Station, and it can be controlled in real time or preprogrammed.

Once it starts working from its home base at the Russian Multipurpose Laboratory Module the robot arm can help install, deploy and replace elements in outer space.

ERA’s first tasks in orbit, after deployment and checkouts, are to set up the airlock and install a radiator for the latest module of the Space Station.

Astronauts will use the robotic arm to save time and effort in Space Station maintenance. It will act as a tool to transfer small payloads directly from inside to outside the International Space Station without the need for spacewalks, but will also help spacewalkers by transporting them around like a cherry-picker crane. Its four infrared cameras will support inspections and operations outside the Space Station.

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) European Robotic Arm
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) its main purpose is to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the entity in question. The image is used to identify the European Robotic Arm, a notable satellite component, that is a robotic arm, that is sent to International Space Station. The importance of the patch is to guide the viewers, thereby identifying the module of ISS, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing satisfactory information about that iss component. so its purpose is solely education related and not meant for advertising or any decorative purposes associated with the file.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
the image is of ESA, a government agency, so this template and thus the image is non free lisenced. We need a free license from ESA or from the mentioned authors in order to host the image under a free lisence. there is almost certainly no free representation for this image. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would distort or mispresent this image, or would fail in its its goal of identification the patch and question related to it.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The image will only be used in the infobox for the European Robotic arm article. but not on any other wikipedia articles.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia fair use, logo guidelines, and non free content policy under copyright law as described in the said lines.

this will increase the information need for wikipedia's nauka module page thereby bringing pride and prestige to roscosmos and before its launch on 21 July, 2021
