A wide variety of solutions can be theorized for the architectures, technologies and operations concepts of advanced EVA systems for future space and planetary applications. This paper reports on the status of ongoing work to capture and refine an initial set of candidate requirements. A summary of related research and development toward such an advanced system is also presented. The end goal is a cost effective, safe and resource efficient integrated system which enables work in a diversity of environments at multiple destinations. A balance of cooperative efforts between humans and automated/robotic devices is envisioned to maximize productivity and safety in remote locations. The knowledge to be captured will take advantage of past lessons learned and hoped for revolutionary solutions. This information is intended to provide credible and useful guidance for those involved in the eventual implementation, validation and utilization of an advanced EVA system.
