Abstract
Extravehicular Activities (EVAs) are very demanding and specialized sp ace flight activities. There are many aspects to consider in the desig n of hardware, tools, and procedures to be used on an EVA mission. To help minimize costs and optimize the EVA productivity, experience show s that astronauts should become involved early in the design process.
