Abstract: We formulate target space duality symmetry of NSR superstring from the perspectives of worldsheet. The worldsheet action is presented in the superspace formalism in the presence of massless backgrounds. We start from a $hatD$-dimensional target space worldsheet action and compactify the theory on a d-dimensional torus, $T^d$. It is assumed that the backgrounds are independent of compact (super)coordinates. We adopt the formalism of our earlier work to introduce dual supercoordinates along compact directions and introduce the corresponding dual backgrounds. It is demonstrated that combined equations of motion of the two sets of coordinates can be expressed in a manifestly $O(d,d)$ covariant form analogous to the equations of motions for closed bosonic string derived by us. Furthermore, we show that the vertex operators associated with excited massive levels of NSR string can be expressed in an $O(d,d)$ invariant form generalizing earlier result for closed bosonic string.
