Routine and complex EVAs call for more effective heat rejection systems in order to maximize mission productivity; an optimum EVA mobility unit (EMU) thermal control subsystem must require no expendables and introduce no contaminants into the environment, while conforming to minimum size limits and allowing easy regeneration. Attention is presently given to two thermal control subsystems, one of which can be integrated with the existing Space Shuttle Orbiter EMU to provide a 3-hour nonventing heat rejection capability, while the other can furnish the entire heat rejection capability requirement for an 8-hour Space Station EVA.
