MOSCOW: It's mission over for a robot called Fedor that Russia blasted to the International Space Station, the developers said on Wednesday , admitting he could not replace astronauts on space walks.
Fedor, or Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research, was built to assist space station astronauts. But Fedor turned out to have a design that does not work well in space - standing 180 centimetres tall, its long legs were not needed on space walks, Dudorov said. Dudorov said developers were sketching out plans for a replacement"that must suit the demands of working on the outside of the ship", hoping"we will be the first" to send a robot on a spacewalk.
