Abstract
Extravehicular Activity (EVA) has been established during previous space programs as a capability of man to perform useful activities in deep space. These activities were used during the Gemini Program to meet limited mission objectives, but were developed during later programs into a basic capability for accomplishing major program objectives, as well as on-orbit maintenance and repair operations. A review of the possibilities for applying EVA techniques to accomplish Shuttle Program mission objectives will be presented, and the current program requirements for EVA delineated. The baselined Orbiter capability to support program EVA requirements, unscheduled maintenance and repair operations, and future mission objectives will be discussed. The objective is to outline the EVA capability currently provided by the Shuttle Program and its potential for supporting a wide range of future EVA missions.
