The Exploration Extravehicular Activity (xEVA) System concept of operations (con ops) captures the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) current aims future missions to all potential Exploration destinations. This document captures the mission architectures, stakeholder expectations, and high level definitions of the capabilities and interfaces associated with the xEVA System. This includes missions to Gateway in cislunar space, the lunar surface, a redirected asteroid in cislunar space, Near Earth Asteroids (NEA), Mars’ orbit, the moons of Mars (Phobos and Deimos), and the surface of Mars. These missions, which include microgravity, milli-gravity, and partial-gravity surface EVAs, will involve a variety of engineering (maintenance, contingency, pioneering, construction) and science tasks. This document also captures information concerning vehicles and habitats with which the xEVA System will interface. The concepts of operations (con ops) detailed in this document are informed by the Artemis Program and a multitude of Exploration studies, and are also influenced by various integrated operational analog testing.
