Designing the NASA Space Station (SS) presents formidable challenges in all onboard systems. An excellent example is the electrical power system (EPS), one of the largest systems on the station and the first to be assembled. This paper focuses on those features of the SS EPS and its associated transverse truss which facilitate on-orbit assembly, servicing, and maintenance by astronauts during extra-vehicular activity (EVA). It reviews NASA's EPS assembly guidelines and design requirements, particularly those relating to EVA. The paper concludes with a discussion of EVA design verification using astronauts working on full-scale equipment mock-ups in NASA's neutral buoyancy facilities.
