EVA Systems
EMU
Two EMUs* are baselined to be flown on each shuttle flight with enough consumables
to support 3 two-crewmember (Orbiter contingency) EVAs.
Of these 3 EVAs:
• One 7-hour EVA may be supported.
• Two EVAs of 3-hours and 4-hours respectively may be supported for contingency
EVA operations.
* A third EMU is sometimes flown as a spare on flights with a scheduled EVA or to
preserve redundancy on ISS assembly flights.
* Three or four EMUs can be flown on flights requiring two EVA teams.
