Because of the enormity, complexity, and duration of the Space Station Freedom (SSF) project, the available crew time is at a premium. This paper discusses the methodology for determining, early in the program, estimates of crew time which will be available within pressurized areas of intravehicular activity, from the First Element Launch (FEL) throughout the lifetime of the SSF. The methodology utilizes the baseline assembly sequence (November 1989) as a guideline. The total hours provided are categorized by periods, where a period is comprised of the time between two major SSF Program assembly milestones; e.g., FEL to Man Tended Capability (MTS), MTS to Permanently Manned Capability (PMC), or PMC to Assembly Complete (AC). After AC, total available crew time is presented on a yearly basis.
