6 January 12:23 | 6 hours 31 minutes | 18:54 | ISS Quest | The crew completed the installation of new batteries on the Station's power channel 3A, and then executed a series of tasks to get ahead for the next EVA. Kimbrough collected photos of the AMS-02, then they removed a broken light on the S3 truss and routed ethernet cables on the Z1 truss. | |
13 January 11:22 | 5 hours 58 minutes | 17:20 | ISS Quest | The crew completed the installation of new batteries on the Station's power channel 1A, and then executed a series of get ahead tasks. First they installed a new camera on the Mobile Transporter Relay Assembly, then Pesquet replaced a Worksite Interface Adapter on Canadarm-2 and collected photos of Z1 truss and S0 truss, meanwhile Kimbrough removed 2 handrails from the Destiny module. Then they picked up a bundle of covers and brought them to the Tranquillity module where will be installed when Pressurized Mating Adapter 3 will be moved from Node 3 to Node 2. When removed, the PMA's Common Berthing Mechanism will be covered up to protect it from the space environment. | |
24 March 11:24 | 6 hours 34 minutes | 17:58 | ISS Quest | Kimbrough replaced the External Control Zone 2 Multiplexer-Demultiplexer with an upgraded "EPIC MDM" and prepared PMA-3 for its robotic relocation on Sunday. Pesquet inspected the Radiator Beam Valve Module for ammonia leaks, then lubricated one of the Latching End Effectors of Dextre. Kimbrough then replaced a pair of cameras on the Kibo module, and a light on one of the CETA carts. | |
30 March 11:29 | 7 hours 4 minutes | 18:33 | ISS Quest | Kimbrough replaced the External Control Zone 1 Multiplexer-Demultiplexer with an upgraded "EPIC MDM" while Whitson connected heater power and heater feedback telemetry to enable PMA-3 to be repressurized, then released a series of straps to free up a cover that protected the APAS. The astronauts then installed 4 axial shields on PMA-3's former location on Tranquillity module and installed covers on PMA-3. | |

21 Aug 12:27 | 6 hours 32 minutes | 18:59 | Expedition 60 ISS Quest | Nick Hague Andrew R. Morgan | Hague and Morgan installed the final International Docking Adapter on the Harmony Module. Task for this spacewalk was identical to Spacewalk 194 and required work by both spacewalkers and Dextre to get the docking port installed in preparation for its test by the Boeing CST-100 Starliner which will occur at the end of October. The crew also routed cables and installed wifi routers for upcoming experiments. |
6 October 11:39 | 7 hours 01 minutes | 18:40 | Expedition 61 ISS Quest | Christina Koch Andrew R. Morgan | This spacewalk was the first of Expedition 61 and the first of a series of 5 to replace and improve ISS batteries on the P6 truss. |
11 October 11:38 | 6 hours 45 minutes | 18:23 | Expedition 61 ISS Quest | Andrew R. Morgan Christina Koch | This spacewalk was the second of Expedition 61 and the second of a series of 5 to replace and improve ISS batteries on the P6 truss. Before they went out the hatch Mission Control Moscow relayed to the crew Alexei Leonov had passed away and this spacewalk is dedicated to him. As the crew came in and took off their suits each gave a choice of words before station commander Luca Parmitano said "Farewell Alexei, and ad astra." |
18 October 11:38 | 7 hours 17 minutes | 18:55 | Expedition 61 ISS Quest | Christina Koch Jessica Meir | This spacewalk was to be the third of Expedition 61 and the third of a series of five to replace and improve ISS batteries on the P6 truss. Some of the battery swaps were delayed to EVA 222 because of a failure in a Battery Charge Discharge Unit on the P6 Truss taking the 4B battery channel partially offline. Koch and Meir replaced the failed unit and brought it inside. They wrapped up the spacewalk by installing a stanchion on the Columbus Module and routing a cable on the Destiny Lab module. This was the first all-female spacewalk. During the spacewalk President Trump called the station and congratulated Koch and Meir on this milestone. |
15 November 11:39 | 6 hours 39 minutes | 18:18 | Expedition 61 ISS Quest | Luca Parmitano Andrew Morgan | First of a series of four spacewalks to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer which suffered a power failure last year in one of its four cooling pumps limiting the operation of the experiment. Parmitano and Morgan went outside and removed a cover plate from AMS and jettisoned it into space to make way for a cryo pump that they will assemble between spacewalks. Some of the bolts put up a fight but Parmitano got them all out. The highlight of the spacewalk is when Andrew Morgan threw the cover plate overboard and it drifted off aft of the station into the vacuum of space. The plate will stay in orbit for a few days until the end of December when it enters the atmosphere and burns up. The crew also removed several carbon fiber strips around fluid lines and installed handrails and grapple bars as get-ahead task. |
22 November 12:02 | 6 hours 33 minutes | 18:35 | Expedition 61 ISS Quest | Luca Parmitano Andrew Morgan | The second in a series of four spacewalks to repair the AMS. Parmitano and Morgan cut fluid lines and installed a vent on the AMS Experiment to prep the old cooling pump for removal on the third spacewalk. Parmitano and Morgan also routed cables and installed a new power supply to power the pumps when they are installed on the third spacewalk. |
2 December 11:31 | 6 hours 2 minutes | 17:33 | Expedition 61 ISS Quest | Luca Parmitano Andrew Morgan | The third in a series of four spacewalks to repair the AMS. Parmitano and Morgan went out on the third spacewalk and installed the cryo pump and routed fluid and electrical lines to power the pump. Flight controllers in Houston, Huntsville, and at CERN activated the experiment and radioed to the crew that AMS passed with flying colors. The crew finished the spacewalk by doing a get-ahead task by covering AMS with thermal blanket. |
2020–2024 spacewalks
Spacewalk beginning and ending times are given in Coordinated Universal Time.2020 spacewalks
Start Date/Time | Duration | End Time | Spacecraft | Crew | Remarks |
15 January 11:35 | 7 hours 29 minutes | 19:04 | Expedition 61 ISS Quest | Christina Koch Jessica Meir | The fourth in a series of five spacewalks to replace the batteries on the P6 Truss. Spacewalk suffered a 15 minute delay when Koch lost her helmet lights and camera. Meir managed to attach a hook onto the camera to prevent it from floating away and stowed it in Koch's tool bag. The spacewalkers managed to replace two batteries plus a third as a getahead task and had to stay in signal range of the WETA antennas so Meir could check on Koch at night who did not have any helmet lights. The spacewalkers will replace the camera between spacewalks and will head back out to replace the final three batteries on the next spacewalk. |
20 January 11:35 | 6 hours 58 minutes | 18:33 | Expedition 61 ISS Quest | Christina Koch Jessica Meir | The fifth and final in a series of five spacewalks to replace the batteries on the P6 Truss. Koch and Meir managed to get all the batteries replaced and stored two old ones on the exposed pallet to return to earth on HTV 9 where they will be incinerated on reentry. Koch and Meir finished the day by sending down a message to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This spacewalk moved Koch up to third place and Meir up to fourth place on the all-time female spacewalker list. |
25 January 12:04 | 6 hours 16 minutes | 18:20 | Expedition 61 ISS Quest | Andrew Morgan Luca Parmitano | The fourth and final in a series of four spacewalks to repair the AMS. Spacewalk suffered a 10 minute delay when a strap got stuck in the hatch preventing depressurization of the airlock. The two spacewalkers completed all the task and at 17:30 hours Luca Parmitano opened a valve to start the flow of CO2 gas to AMS and contacted CERN to turn the experiment on. AMS passed all test and worked flawlessly. A leak was found in a cooling line but Parmitano patched it and the spacewalk resumed without incident. As a getahead task Parmitano and Morgan cleaned and replaced glare filters on the NASA TV cameras used to film the spacewalk. |
26 June 11:32 | 6 hours 7 minutes | 17:39 | Expedition 63 ISS Quest | Christopher Cassidy Robert Behnken | Behnken and Cassidy removed five of six nickel-hydrogen batteries for one of two power channels for the starboard 6 truss, installed two of three new lithium-ion batteries, and installed two of three associated adapter plates that are used to complete the power circuit to the new batteries. |
1 July 10:13 | 6 hours 1 minute | 16:14 | Expedition 63 ISS Quest | Christopher Cassidy Robert Behnken | Behnken and Cassidy removed the last of six nickel-hyrdogen batteries for disposal. They also connected the last of the three lithium-ion batteries and its adapter plate to complete the circuit to the new battery for the starboard 6 truss. |
16 July 11:10 | 6 hours | 17:10 | Expedition 63 ISS Quest | Christopher Cassidy Robert Behnken | Cassidy and Behnken replaced batteries that provide power for the International Space Station's solar arrays on the starboard truss of the complex. They removed six aging nickel-hydrogen batteries, and installed three new lithium-ion batteries that are more efficient. This work nearly completes a three and a half year effort to upgrade the International Space Station's power system. |
21 July 11:12 | 5 hours 29 minutes | 16:41 | Expedition 63 ISS Quest | Christopher Cassidy Robert Behnken | Cassidy and Behnken installed a protective housing with two robotic external leak locator units. They also removed two lifting fixtures at the base of the station's solar arrays. They then prepared for the installation of the Nanorax airlock, arriving in November. Finally, they routed ethernet cables and removed a lens filter cover from an external camera. |
