The paper examines the lessons learned from past experiences, the requirements that apply to the various types of missions requiring servicing, and the present plans for establishing a system by which on-orbit servicing, assembly, and repair will become routine. It is noted that, by expanding on the servicing experience and capabilities provided directly by the STS, the Space Station will significantly enhance the mission objectives of long-duration scientific missions, not only by repair and consumable replenishment, but also by the addition and replacement of scientific instruments with upgraded versions. The servicing facility design is described, and a typical servicing scenario is presented.
