Astronauts utilize the equipment lock and airlock facilities on the International Space Station to perform maintenance, prepare spacesuits, and conduct essential pre-breathe and cycling protocols prior to extravehicular activities.
The retrieved papers, specifically documentation regarding the International Space Station's airlock and extravehicular activity (EVA) procedures (such as indices 3 and 6), detail how the equipment lock is used for suit maintenance, servicing, and supporting preparation protocols during airlock operations. No papers refute the claim.
