To plan and execute a successful on-orbit satellite servicing mission, space support hardware, a serviceable spacecraft design, and flexible ground operations are required. This paper addresses space support hardware and in particular the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Satellite Servicing Project's (SSP) Flight Support System (FSS). The FSS is designed to be compatible with the Space Transportation System Orbiter and to support on-orbit servicing of Multimission Modular Spacecraft. It provides mechanical, electrical, and thermal support to the spacecraft during the servicing mission. Standardization of spacecraft design, components, and interfaces is required to make a satellite serviceable. Spacecraft ground operation capabilities must accommodate servicing mission requirements. Space support tools and equipment, such as the Power Ratchet Tool, assists the astronaut during time critical EVA operations to more efficiently perform the servicing mission.
