Four early space construction tests performed in neutral buoyancy and/or on-orbit to evaluate EVA for assembly of truss structures are reviewed and astronaut observations are presented. In addition, two ongoing ground test programs that address EVA assembly of full scale Space Station truss structure using a mobile transporter equipped with astronaut positioning arms are described. A truss joint design that enables EVA assembly while meeting structural design goals is also discussed.
