A reduction of life cycle costs of spacecraft or Space Station elements can be achieved by a modular build up which allows an in orbit replacement, maintenance, and service of functional units named Orbital Replacement Units (ORUs). The criteria for an optimal design for an ORU is presented. Requirements involving the user spacecraft configuration, the servicing vehicle, the handling by astronauts and remote manipulator system are considered.
