On theInternational Space Station (ISS),extravehicular activities are major events in the building and maintaining of the orbital laboratory,[1] and are performed to install new components, re-wire systems, modules, and equipment, and to monitor, install, and retrieve scientific experiments.[2][3]

Due to the complexity of building a station inspace, space agencies train astronauts extensively, preparing them to encounter surprises during spacewalks, teaching them how to assemble special tools and equipment, and carefully coordinating every activity during spacewalks.[1] From 1998 to 2005,thirty-seven Space Shuttle missions were scheduled to assemble, outfit and beginexperiments and research aboard the station.[1]
The initial spacewalk to begin theassembly of the International Space Station was held on 7 December 1998,[4] following the launch of the first section of the station,Zarya, fromBaikonur Cosmodrome,Kazakhstan, on 20 November 1998.[5] The spacewalk attached the U.S.-builtUnity node toZarya.[4] The longest spacewalk was performed on 11 March 2001, whenSTS-102 crew membersSusan J. Helms andJames S. Voss conducted a full spacewalk, and then returned to the airlock, but remained in their suits ready to exit the airlock again in case the robotics operations ran into problems. The total time for that spacewalk was eight hours and fifty-six minutes.[6]
As of 2 December 2021, there have been 245 spacewalks devoted to assembly and maintenance of the International Space Station totaling 1548 hours and 26 minutes. Thirty-seven of those spacewalks were performed from a shuttle, ninety-three from theQuest Joint Airlock, thirty-two from thePirs docking compartment, and two from the transfer compartment at the forward end of theZvezda service module.[7][8]

| Attempted to replace a failed ammonia pump module located on the S1 truss. Due to an ammonia leak in the final line that needed to be disconnected from the failed pump module, the planned tasks were only partially completed, and the spacewalkers needed extra time to perform a "bake out" to ensure no ammonia entered the station following the EVA. This was the longest International Space Station-based spacewalk, and the sixth longest spacewalk in history.[156][157] | ||||||

The spacewalkers then moved the failed ammonia pump module that was replaced in August from its temporary location to the External Stowage Platform 2 adjacent to the Quest airlock. Drew and Bowen then installed a wedge under a camera on the S3 truss to provide clearance from the newly installed ELC-4. They next replaced a guide for the rail cart system used for moving the station robotic arm along the truss. The guides had been removed when astronauts were performing work on the station's starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joint (SARJ), which rotates the solar arrays to track the sun. The final task was to "fill" a special bottle with the vacuum of space for a Japanese education payload. The bottle will be part of a public museum exhibit. | |||||

| This spacewalk was kind of special in that it was the last spacewalk performed while a space shuttle was docked to the station. However, other than the previous spacewalks during docked operations, this one was performed by the station crew and not by the space shuttle crew. The need for this spacewalk arose since a failed pump module on the station should be returned for inspection to the ground on the space shuttle. This having been the main objective done during this EVA the spacewalkers also installed a Robotic Refueling Mission experiment and fully deployed theMISSE 8 experiment (which was only half deployed during a previous spacewalk).[169][170] | |||||
| 161. | Expedition 28 EVA 2 * | 3 August 2011 14:50 | 3 August 2011 21:13 | 6 hours, 23 minutes | |
| The spacewalkers installed laser communications equipment which eventually will test transmissions of up to 100 Mbit/s of Russian science data with the ground on the Zvezda service module. Radioskaf-V a small satellite for a student experiment was deployed and an antenna which was used for the docking of Poisk was removed and brought back into the station.As part of the research work on the station the BIORISK experiment was installed on a handrail outside Pirs.Last but not least photographs were taken including some of an antenna with signs of degraded performance to support engineers on the ground to trouble-shoot the cause of the degradation.Due to time constraints the task to relocate the STEAL-1 cargo boom was canceled for this EVA.[171] | |||||

| First in a series of spacewalks to install theiROSA solar arrays on the P6 Truss. While working on releasing the arrays from their launch carrier, Kimbrough's spacesuit experienced issues with its Display and Control Module (DCM), so he was sent back to the airlock to connect to station umbilicals to restart it. The restart was successful, although it delayed the EVA. Additionally, an issue was discovered with his suit's sublimator, which threatened to end the EVA prematurely; this was determined to be a false reading, allowing work to resume. Following this, the astronauts successfully released the solar arrays and installed them on the P6 mounting bracket. A subsequent attempt to unfold the two rolled arrays, which were folded side by side during launch, failed due to interference (blockage) from a structure near the mounting area. As the EVA was then past the six-hour mark, ground controllers instructed the astronauts to finish securing the array structure to the station, photograph the work site, and return to the airlock. The next steps of unfolding the array pair, making electrical connections, and unfurling the rolled arrays were postponed to a future EVA pending ground analysis of the interference issue.

| First in a series of spacewalks to outfitNauka. The cosmonauts routed power and Ethernet cables interconnectingNauka with the US segment viaZarya andPMA-1, and installed EVA handrails alongNauka's exterior. The complex series of tasks planned for this EVA was budgeted at a nominal 7 hours, but was delayed substantially by cumulative minor complications, ultimately stretching to nearly 8 hours with several tasks postponed. The power cables were successfully mated and a good power path was confirmed by ground controllers; the Ethernet cables were routed but not all connections were mated due to lack of time. Mating of the final Ethernet cables and jettisoning of the cable reel were deferred to a future spacewalk. One of the three planned handrail installations was partially completed, but had trouble with one of its screws as the EVA was then past the 7-hour mark, ground controllers instructed Dubrov to attach it temporarily with wire ties for completion on the next EVA. Additional tasks deferred to future EVAs include the installation of threeBiorisk microorganism exposure experiment modules on the exterior of the station, and a photo survey of theZarya module's exterior.[286][287] | |||||

They subsequently connected cable bundles betweenNauka andZvezda, providing Ethernet links between those modules as well as links forNauka's TV cameras and docking navigation antennas (Kurs andTORU). They then mounted threeBiorisk microorganism exposure experiment modules on the exterior of thePoisk airlock module. Additionally, the cosmonauts took survey photos of the exterior of the Russian segment of the station, including the Kurs docking antennas of theProgress MS-17 cargo vehicle (confirming that they were undamaged) and external sensors onNauka; they also realigned a thruster plume measurement unit onPoisk. Finally, the cosmonauts tied together and jettisoned a junk cable reel cover along with some leftover insulation from theBiorisk experiments.[289] | |||||

During the spacewalk the cosmonauts jettisoned thermal covers, released launch locks, and walked off the arm to its stowage point at worksite 2 on the forward face of the lab where it was latched in place. Because of time they did not release the grapple at worksite 1 and the arm is bent over the solar arrays. The cosmonauts also installed handrails onNauka and the arm and deployed a banner forVictory Day on the side of the station. ERA was checked out inside and attempts to grapple at worksite 3 were unsuccessful. The arm was backed off and parked to get the hands out of the way of docked operations andNauka's thrusters and solar arrays. On the next spacewalk,Samantha Cristoforetti will troubleshoot the arm before it is re-grappled to worksite 3 and moved to its final location at worksite 4. During the spacewalk, a cable which was deployed during Russian EVA 51 back in January got snagged and caused issues with the KURS antennas onPrichal, which forcedSoyuz MS-21 to be flown in manually. Artemyev tied down the cables with wire ties and the antenna was redeployed into a safe configuration.[301][304][305][306][307] | |||||

Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev and Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti worked on theERA robotic arm as part of the work scheduled to commission theNauka module and robotic arm. They launched two Tsiolkovsky-Ryazan (No. 1-2) and eight YUZGU-55 (No. 5-12) satellites, installed anERA grapple point onPoisk to facilitate future relocation of the experiment airlock on the next spacewalk, translated a work platform over toNauka, reconfiguredERA and set the control panel from "grapple mode" to "stowed", replaced a camera port window onERA that prevented grappling on the previous spacewalk, replaced MLI blankets onNauka that were knocked loose by the thruster firings when the module arrived, and installed retainers on Strela 1 onPoisk. The final task to relocate Strela 2 onZarya over toPoisk and install its retainer was deferred to the next EVA as the spacewalkers were running heavily behind schedule due to a later-than-planned start. Cristoforetti became the first female European astronaut to perform a spacewalk, and only the third woman to perform a spacewalk using the Russian Orlan spacesuit (afterSvetlana Savitskaya andPeggy Whitson).[308][309][310][311] | |||||

The primary task to install cameras on the elbow joint was completed on time and both cameras passed their telemetry checkouts. The final tasks to relocate theERA control panel, set the arm back to "grapple mode", and remove the launch rings from the wrist ofERA will be moved to the next spacewalk. Artemyev was in the process of removing the launch ring at worksite 2 fromERA when he suffered a voltage drop in his spacesuit batteries.Mission Control Moscow ordered him back inside the airlock where he connected to internal power to recharge his suit. Because they were ahead and then behind the timeline, in light of the battery issue Mission Control Moscow gave the order to terminate the EVA at 16:34 GMT and the spacewalk concluded at 17:54 GMT, 4 hours and 1 minute into the spacewalk.[312] Artemyev was never in any danger and they will be replacing the battery before the next spacewalk. Because of the early EVA termination, the getahead task to relocate Strela 2 over toPoisk was also moved to the next spacewalk along with the other tasks.[313][314][315][316] | |||||

| The cosmonauts ventured outside and installed a mini radar experiment onNauka, launched aCubeSat which will test solar sails, and photographed the RTOd radiator and closed valves to isolate the radiator and vented residual coolant so plans can be done to fix a leaking cooling line that delayed two US spacewalks. During one of the vents, Kononenko got sprayed and the coolant got on one of his tethers. The tether was placed in a trash bag and stowed externally to decontaminate it, while Kononenko's suit was wiped down to prevent coolant from entering the station. During the radar deployment, one of the hinges got stuck. The cosmonauts will go out on the next spacewalk and will use special tools and lock the hinges so it can be deployed. During the satellite deployment, the telescoping booms did not come out and ground controllers are working to manually deploy them so the satellite can track the sun.[356][357][358] | ||||||

| Moghbeli and O'Hara ventured outside and removed an H fixture from the 3B mass canister on the S4 truss in preparation for the arrival of the struts and theIROSA solar arrays in 2025. They also replaced a damaged Trundle Bearing under Cover 2 which had been giving them trouble in the past and greased the tracks before the new Trundle Bearing was installed on the portSARJ, secured a cable on Camera 8 which was shorting out a light used for dockings, and released wedge clamps on the SASA antenna. The primary task to retrieve the SASA antenna from ESP2 so it can be returned to Earth onSpaceX CRS-29 was moved to the next spacewalk because of issues removing the covers from the SARJ. O'Hara was not secured properly during the removal and had to be assisted by Moghbeli to get the cover stowed. During the spacewalk, the bag containing the grease gun was lost, but the tools were not needed and the bag posed no collision risk to the station. This was the fourth all-female spacewalk on the station, following Christina Koch and Jessica Meir's three spacewalks during Expedition 61.[359][360][361] | ||||||

| Kononenko and Chub ventured out and released launch locks on theMini Radar Unit to get it deployed and installed a series of experimentsTKK andKvartz ontoPoisk including a monoblock payload adapter and boom and photographed theRussian Segment.The Cosmonauts also repositioned thePlume Measurement Unit, removed an ion radiation probe and stowed it for jettisoned, and retrieved theBiorisk canisters for return to earth. The cosmonauts also wiped down the handrails onNauka andPoisk to check for microbial growth and contamination from the radiator leak and from visiting vehicles and hydrazine fromNauka's arrival.[362][363] | |||||

| Dyson and Barratt were intended to venture out and retrieve the SASA Antenna and bring it inside, collect samples from the station's hull to look for signs of microbial growth that could be present on the modules either after launch or exposed to space, and prep the LEE A Wrist Joint Replacement Module for installation on an upcoming spacewalk. However, the spacewalk was terminated shortly after depress due to a water leak in the service and cooling umbilical unit on Dyson's spacesuit.[364] | |||||

| The cosmonauts ventured outside and installed an x-ray telescope on plain 5 of theZvezda Service Module, jettisoned an ion radiation probe, retrievedBiorisk, TEST, and two exposure experiments onZvezda andPoisk, and rewiredZvezda and replaced two patch panels which were showing signs of degraded insulation, electronics, and frayed wiring. The task to relocate theERA control panel was moved to another spacewalk because of time and because of a late start.[365][366] | |||||

| Hague and Williams ventured outside and replaced the Rate Gyro Assembly Gyroscope 2 on the S0 Truss, replaced the retro reflectors onIDA 3, installed shields onNICER to patch holes in the light shades, relocated the C2V2 cables out of the way so the astronauts andCanadarm 2 could access the worksite, tested a tool on theAMS jumpers, and photographed the AMS jumpers so they can be de-mated on a future spacewalk. As part of a get-ahead task, they inspected an ammonia vent line onUnity and inspected a foot restraint located near theZ1 Radio Antenna. This spacewalk was originally supposed to be performed byAndreas Mogensen andLoral O'Hara duringExpedition 70, but it was delayed indefinitely due to a radiator leak onNauka.[359][367] | ||||||

| Williams and Wilmore ventured out, retrieved the SASA Antenna and brought it back inside whilst also collecting samples from the station's hull to look for signs of microbial growth that could be present on the modules either after launch or being exposed to space. The spacewalk faced a delay when the jacking bolts broke, requiring Williams and Wilmore to use some elbow grease to get the antenna to release. The secondary task to prep the LEE-A Wrist Joint Replacement Module for installation on an upcoming spacewalk, and stage the IROSA Cable Bag outside the airlock so they are ready for a future spacewalk, was moved to the next spacewalk since it is not critical. As a get-ahead task, Wilmore stowed some tethers and the crowbars he used inside a locker outside the airlock to be used on a future spacewalk.[368][369] | ||||||
