Description	The design of a highly anthropomorphic human scale robot hand for space based operations is described. This five finger hand combined with its integrated wrist and forearm has fourteen independent degrees of freedom. The device approximates very well the kinematics and required strength of an astronaut's hand when operating through a pressurized space suit glove. The mechanisms used to meet these requirements are explained in detail along with the design philosophy behind them. Integration experiences reveal the challenges associated with obtaining the required capabilities within the desired size. The initial finger control strategy is presented along with examples of obtainable grasps.
