Appendix A Statement of Task The study will assess the potential effect of long-term operational engineering issues on the budget and capabili- ties of the International Space Station (ISS) and, where appropriate, recommend procedures and hardware upgrades to mitigate their impact. The study will focus on the follow . . ng Issues: 1. Long-term ISS maintenance requirements. 2. Extravehicular activity (EVA) requirements to support ISS operations and maintenance (in light of experi- ence with the Mir space station). 33 3. The use of an international fleet of launch vehicles to support the ISS. 4. The need for and capability to upgrade and replace ISS equipment and components after the station's assembly is complete. This includes the need to replace laboratory equipment as it becomes obsolete. 5. Decommissioning and disassembly of the station at the end of its useful life.
