The International space Station will provide a multitude of opportunities for an expanding customer base to make use of this international resource. One such opportunity is servicing of various visiting vehicoles that are un a similar orbit to the station. Servicing may include change-out of payloads, replenishement of consumables, repair, and refurbishment operations. Previous studies have been conducted in which "paper" free flyers have been assessed against the station's ability to accoummodate them. Over the last several moths though, an already flown free flyer, EURECA, was assessed a a real-life visting free fllyer design reference mission. Issues such as caputre/berthing, servicing, logistics supportk and stowage were assessed for station design and operational approaches. This paper wioll higlith critical visting vehicle design considerations, identify station issues, and provide recmmendations for accommodation of a wide range of visiting vehicle requirements of the future.
