Abstract :
Long duration space mission success could depend upon the extent to which the crew can perform work outside the spaceship. Study results presented show that space suits are not the whole answer. Evaluation of worker requirements leads to a maintenance capsule concept. Capsule application is depicted in contrasting situations: Repair of meteoroid damage, a minor but vital task which can occur anywhere on the spaceship; and nuclear engine replacement, a task of major proportions.
