The Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) provides a Shuttle crewmember with the life support equipment and mobile pressure enclosure necessary to perform Extravehicular Activity (EVA). EVA highlights include the refueling and repair of satellites on orbit, retrieval of satellites for refurbishment on earth, and the assembly of the International Space Station. EMU has demonstrated the ability of humans to work effectively in space. The EMU consists of two major subsystems; the Life Support Subsystem (LSS) and the Space Suit Assembly (SSA). This integrated space suit and life support system permits astronauts to work comfortably and safely in space.
