Over the life of the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), numerous products detailing “how to build Extravehicular Activity (EVA) System hardware”, “how to interface with EVA System hardware” and “how to design hardware EVA will access and utilize” were generated to provide interoperability between a suited crewmember and the specified vehicle’s EVA task. Since the inception of these products, some have continued to receive updates due to the necessity of an on-going program while others remained unchanged for years and have led to discrepancies between the current accepted values and those considered outdated. For EVA-suited crewmember tasks beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO), new vehicles need a single consolidated location for the best practices and lessons learned from the EVA Community. This paper outlines what common EVA compatibility design requirements are expected of an Exploration spacecraft that has interactions between the vehicle and an EVA suited crewmember for and an approach for standardizing EVA compatibility across various vehicles at various destinations. The approach of standardization allows for flexibility by tailoring the applicability to meet the EVA tasks required for that vehicle’s operation beyond Low Earth Orbit. This paper will also describe the broad difference between microgravity and partial gravity EVA compatibility and how those requirements were identified and will be informed.
