This paper outlines an almost comprehensive description of issues faced by space station robots in order to identify the requirements that a design of a novel service robot has to meet to perform Extra-vehicular activities (EVAs). Existing regulations are reviewed and the main aspects of already operating robots on the International Space Station are underlined. Main criticalities of the Low Earth Orbit environment (radiations, space debris and temperature excursions), as well as those of the launch from the ground to the space station, are described.
