It was the tenth crewed American spaceflight (including two X-15 flights at altitudes exceeding 100 kilometers (54 nmi)). Astronauts James McDivitt and Ed White circled the Earth 66 times in four days, making it the first US ...
Extravehicular activity (EVA) is any activity done by an astronaut in outer space outside a spacecraft. In the absence of a breathable Earthlike atmosphere, the astronaut is completely reliant on a space suit for environmental support. EVA includes spacewalks and lunar or planetary surface exploration (commonly known from 1969 to 1972 as ...

This list contains all spacewalks and moonwalks performed from 1965 to 1999 where an astronaut has fully or partially left a spacecraft. Entries for moonwalks are shown with a gray background while entries for all other EVAs are uncolored. All spacewalks have had the astronauts tethered to their spacecraft except for seven spacewalks by the ...
This is a list of cumulative spacewalk records for the 30 astronauts who have the most extra-vehicular activity (EVA) time. [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.
Both of these are the record for the largest total number of spacewalks by a male and a female, and the most cumulative time spent on spacewalks by a male and a female. Man – Anatoly Solovyev, 16 spacewalks for a total time of 82 hours, 21 minutes. [48] Woman – Peggy Whitson, 10 spacewalks for a total time of 60 hours, 21 minutes. [49] [50 ...
