This list contains all spacewalks performed since the beginning of 2025 where an astronaut has fully, or partially left the spacecraft. [ 1 ] Since 1981, NASA has measured spacewalk duration from when the suits went to internal power until the start of airlock re-pressurization.
Installed an Early Ammonia Servicer onto the station's P6 truss, co-location of the foot restraint in a stowed location, and installed the Materials International Space Station Experiment(MISSE)-1 and 2 containers onto the Quest airlock.

This list contains all spacewalks performed between 2015-2024 where an astronaut has fully, or partially left the spacecraft. [1] As of 19 August 2016, 215 astronauts have made spacewalks (out of 549 people who have gone into Earth orbit). [2] [3] [4] [5]
Radar is used to measure the distance between the orbits of the Earth and of a second body. From that measurement and the ratio of the two orbit sizes, the size of Earth's orbit is calculated. The Earth's orbit is known with an absolute precision of a few meters and a relative precision of a few parts in 100 billion (1 × 10 −11).
[1] [2] The record is currently held by Anatoly Solovyev of the Russian Federal Space Agency, with 82:22 hours from 16 EVAs, followed by NASA's Michael Lopez-Alegria with 67:40 hours in 10 EVAs. This list is current as of August 9, 2023. [3] [1] [4] The RSA designation includes spacewalks under the earlier Soviet space program.
The Polaris Dawn astronauts exposed themselves to the void of space while 435 miles above Earth. Rewatch the moment here.
This list contains all spacewalks performed between 12 May 2000 and 22 October 2014 where an astronaut fully or partially left a spacecraft. [1] Since 1981, NASA has measured spacewalk duration from when the suits went to internal power until the start of airlock re-pressurization.
The Polaris Dawn mission's historic EVA will be the astronauts' first, the first commercial spacewalk, and the first involving a Crew Dragon ship.
