The concept of on-orbit assembly and repair is introduced including users, tasks, Space Station and NSTS Interfaces. Representative missions and spacecraft requiring assembly and repair are briefly described along with the specific service requested. Considerations for setting the level of on-orbit replaceable unit (ORU) indenture or packaging size are discussed along with the feasibility of intravehicular activity (IVA) repair at the component and board level. A discussion of broad design guidelines is presented with reference data in easy-access, tabular form and finally a listing of more than 15 years of servicing design lessons learned are presented.
