Summary
The Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station has had a busy month of spacewalks, science experiments, and maintenance tasks. The CRS-34 mission successfully undocked from the ISS on June 16 and splashed down off southern California. A key upcoming task involves repairing the Canadarm2 robotic arm, which is currently non-operational due to a joint issue and will be fixed during a planned spacewalk. Canadarm2 is Canada's primary contribution to the ISS and a successor to the original Canadarm.
