Description
An approach to orbital maintenance is examined, using a maintenance element with the capability of providing a pressurized environment for personnel to perform maintenance functions unhampered by pressure suits. Design of an ideal element is reviewed incorporating limited habitability, electronic and pneumatic bench maintenance capability, critical spares storage racks and bins, manipubtors to assist in EVA, and a maintenance/ repair area. The element may be utilized for extended periods of orbital maintenance for providing maintenance services to other orbiting vehicles.
