The structure of the Space Station Servicing System architecture, operational aspects of the system, and the potential evolution of the servicing capabilities to accomodate a variety of missions are disscussed. Services to be performed include replacement or repair of failed modules, subsystems or parts, replacement or upgrading of spacecraft or instrument subsystems, replacement of limited lifetime subsystems or components, replenishment of consumables, and assembly of attached payloads and instruments. Elements of the system discussed include intravehicular servicing, the flight telerobotic servicer, and the mobile servicing center. Ground, preservicing, extravehicular and intravehicular servicing, and postservicing operations are examined. Also, a typical mission scenario for mature servicing operations is given.
