Description
A concept for a low cost, low development risk Work Station Capsule for manned extra-vehicular operations is presented. Requirements for such a capsule are established and a conceptual design is outlined. The result is a low cost design providing the astronaut with improved protection and mobility and the means to make his activities more effective and safer. Operational considerations with emphasis on handling of emergencies are discussed. The authors conclude that such a design represents a highly desirable interim approach as a supplement to safe extra-vehicular operations.
