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.
The spacewalkers had considerable difficulty closing the latches on the gyro doors, probably due to thermal expansion of the closure bolts. Working closely with engineers on the ground, the team was able to force the door to latch closed. Before re-entering the shuttle, they prepared the payload bay for the next EVA. [94] 118. STS-61 – EVA 2
Astronaut Fei Junlong performing a spacewalk on the Tiangong Space Station China became the third country to independently carry out an EVA on September 27, 2008, during the Shenzhou 7 mission. Chinese taikonaut Zhai Zhigang completed a 22-minute spacewalk wearing the Chinese-developed Feitian space suit , with taikonaut Liu Boming wearing the ...
The following is a list of French astronauts, also referred to as spationauts, who have traveled into space, sorted by date of first flight. As of 2024, ten French nationals have been in space. The first French national in space was Jean-Loup Chrétien in 1982.
Today, a spacewalk, also called an extravehicular activity or EVA, is still routinely used at the orbiting laboratory to allow astronauts to service and maintain its aging exterior.
Hurtling through space at 17,500 miles per hour and surrounded by a vacuum that could kill him, Jared Isaacman opened the door.. If opened that hatch too early, then the entire mission may have ...
This is a list of the 23 longest spacewalks, also known as an extravehicular activity or EVA. "Agency" here refers to the organization under whose auspices the EVA was conducted (so a Swiss or Japanese astronaut would be listed under NASA if they wore NASA suits and were controlled by Mission Control Houston).
The goal of the one-hour 46-minute spacewalk was to help company engineers perfect low-cost, easy-to-manufacture spacesuits for use by future commercial astronauts flying to the moon or Mars ...
