The International Space Station's Maintenance Work Area (MWA) is similar to a work bench on Earth except that it can host high-flying experiments and advanced space hardware for servicing. The MWA is a portable platform that can be set up throughout the space station's U.S. segment to enable a variety of on-orbit tasks.
