This paper presents an overview of the satellite servicing mission of the currently proposed U.S. Space Station and discusses some of the major automatic test equipment (ATE) design considerations that will have to be addressed to ensure the effective utilization of ATE in this unique role in outer space. The space-related demands on ATE for minimum size and weight, coupled with maximum security protection and impact on the space station environment, will be unprecedented. A whole new dimension in versatile testing capability, as well as ease and speed of operation and servicing, will be required. These ATE design parameters are examined from the feasibility study standpoint for consideration by both the potential ATE designer as well as the operational satellite designer.
