SSFP flight test demonstrations conducted to verify and quantify the performance of selected technologies needed for the development of the Space Station are described. Attention is focused on the performance of thermal systems, the effects of atomic oxygen on materials, and the difficulties of on-orbit crew mobility for assembly and operations utilizing either extravehicular robots or methods. Consideration is given to challenges in system development, a technology assessment summary for the areas of thermal systems, materials, EVA activities, and the results of flight demonstrations.
