Backdropped by a colorful Earth, astronaut Robert L. Curbeam, Jr. (left) and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Christer Fuglesang, both STS-116 mission specialists, participate in an EVA. This is a list of cumulative spacewalk records for the 30 astronauts who have the most extra-vehicular activity (EVA) time.
This is a list of all astronauts who have engaged in an EVA by partly or fully leaving a spacecraft, exclusive of extravehicular activity on the lunar surface. It is ordered chronologically by the date of first spacewalk.
Then they climbed to the top of the telescope where they replaced the covers of the satellite's magnetometers.
