    2001-01-2202 International Space Station EVA Operations –Phase 2 Hardware Lessons Learned David E. Anderson, Debra A. Meyer and Kashyap Shah Boeing Extravehicular & Crew Systems Copyright © 2001 Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc. ABSTRACT Phase 2 of International Space Station (ISS) assembly is scheduled to be complete by mid 2001. This paper will describe lessons learned by the hardware providers relative to Extravehicular Activity (EVA) operation for that hardware. With the completion of flight 7A scheduled for June 2001, the space station will include the first set of US solar arrays, KU band and S band antennas, Laboratory module, Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS), and Airlock, all EVA assembled. Figure 1.
