nov 13, 1981 - canadarm
Description:
The remote manipulator system – named Canadarm in honor of the country that built it – flew for the first time on Nov. 13, 1981. It was only the second shuttle flight, and one of the mission's main tasks was to test the arm out – wiggle it around a bit and see how it worked before the heavy lifting started.
