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]
3 December 2000 18:35 4 December 2000 02:08 7 hours, 33 minutes Attached the P6 truss to the Z1 Truss, and prepared the solar arrays for deployment. Prepared the radiator for the power system deployment. [20] [21] 12. STS-97 EVA 2 † Joseph R. Tanner Carlos I. Noriega: 5 December 2000 17:21 5 December 2000 23:58 6 hours, 37 minutes
Using a 10-foot (3.0 m) long tool, Pilot Weitz stood in the open side hatch of the command module (as Science Pilot Joseph Kerwin held onto his legs) and tried to remove a strap preventing the release of a solar array wing on Skylab. [42] 32. Skylab 2 EVA 2: Pete Conrad Joseph Kerwin: 7 June 1973 15:15 7 June 1973 18:40 3 h 25 min
[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 release by Thornton imparted zero velocity to the arrays and then the orbiter did a small burn to put some distance between it and the array. The array, moving away from Endeavour at 1.5 m/s (4.9 ft/s), separated about 18 to 19 km (11 to 12 mi) each orbit. [5]
The Polaris Dawn spacewalk is scheduled at an altitude of 435 miles above Earth. Because the Crew Dragon spacecraft does not have an airlock, the entire capsule will be exposed to the vacuum of ...
Since the rod is stationary in K 0, the distance between the marks is the proper length of the rod regardless of the time lapse between the two markings. On the other hand, it is not the proper distance between the marking events if the marks are not made simultaneously in K 0."
After a boost of 6.8 miles (10.9 km) by Skylab 4's Apollo CSM before its departure in 1974, Skylab was left in a parking orbit of 269 miles (433 km) by 283 miles (455 km) [109] that was expected to last until at least the early 1980s, based on estimates of the 11-year sunspot cycle that began in 1976.
