Astronomy:List of spacewalks since 2025

From HandWiki
Short description: none

This list contains all spacewalks performed since the beginning of 2025 where an astronaut has fully, or partially left the spacecraft.[1]

Since 1981, NASA has measured spacewalk duration from when the suits went to internal power until the start of airlock re-pressurization. Roscosmos and China have always used the time from hatch opening to hatch closure.[1] These charts typically follow the agency's measurements of spacewalk duration, because those figures tend to be the most readily available, as they are most often provided by the agency.

2025–2029 spacewalks

Spacewalk beginning and ending times are given in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

2025 spacewalks

# Start date/time Duration End time Spacecraft Crew Remarks
480 16 January
13:01 		6 hours 19:01 Expedition 72
ISS Quest
  • United States Nick Hague
  • United States Sunita Williams
 Hague and Williams ventured outside and replaced the Rate Gyro Assembly Gyroscope 2 on the S0 Truss, replaced the retro reflectors on IDA 3, installed shields on NICER to patch holes in the light shades, relocated the C2V2 cables out of the way so the astronauts and Canadarm 2 could access the worksite, tested a tool on the AMS 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 on Unity and inspected a foot restraint located near the Z1 Radio Antenna. This spacewalk was originally supposed to be performed by Andreas Mogensen and Loral O'Hara during Expedition 70, but it was delayed indefinitely due to a radiator leak on Nauka.[2][3]
481 20 January
08:55 		8 hours, 17 minutes 17:12 Shenzhou 19
TSS Wentian
  • China Cai Xuzhe
  • China Song Lingdong
 Tasks included installation of space debris protection devices and inspections of the exterior of the TSS.[4]
482 30 January
12:43 		5 hours, 26 minutes 18:09 Expedition 72
ISS Quest
  • United States Sunita Williams
  • United States Barry Wilmore
 Wilmore and Williams successfully removed a faulty radio communications unit, although the time needed for this meant that other tasks that were scheduled for the spacewalk weren't accomplished. Williams broke the record for the woman to have spent the most on EVA, with a total of 62 hours and 6 minutes, and now ranks fourth amongst all spacewalkers.[5]
483 21 March
05:45 		7 hours, 5 minutes 12:50 Shenzhou 19
TSS Wentian
  • China Cai Xuzhe
  • China Song Lingdong
 Installation of more space debris shield devices and checking the condition of extravehicular equipment.[6]
484 1 May
13:05 		5 hours, 44 minutes 18:49 Expedition 73
ISS Quest
McClain and Ayers relocated a communications antenna, installed a mounting bracket for a future Roll Out Solar Array, installed a jumper cable to provide power from the P6 truss to the Russian Orbital Segment and removed bolts from a micrometeoroid cover.[7]
485 22 May
00:50 		7 hours, 59 minutes 08:49 Shenzhou 20
TSS Tianhe
  • China Chen Dong
  • China Chen Zhongrui
 Tasks included installation of more space debris protection devices and inspections of the exterior, fixing damages to the TSS. First Chinese EVA from core module since transitioning into application and development phase.
486 26 June
07:04 		6 hours, 25 minutes 13:29 Shenzhou 20
TSS Wentian
  • China Chen Dong
  • China Chen Zhongrui
 Tasks included installation of more space debris protection devices and inspections of the exterior, fixing damages to the TSS. They added foot restraints and EVA interface adapters on portable work platform for future EVAs.[8]
487 15 August
08:00 		6 hours, 47 minutes 14:47 Shenzhou 20
TSS Wentian
  • China Chen Dong
  • China Wang Jie
 Tasks included completing installation of debris protection devices and auxiliary extravehicular facilities, and inspecting and maintaining external equipment.[9]
488 25 September
11:30 		6 hours, 35 minutes 17:35 Shenzhou 20
TSS Wentian
  • China Chen Zhongrui
  • China Wang Jie
 Tasks included completing installation of debris protection devices for the space station and inspecting external equipment and facilities. It marked the first time that two members of China's third batch of taikonauts jointly carried out an EVA. So far, the Shenzhou-20 crew has completed four EVAs, making them one of the Chinese crews with the most extravehicular missions.
489 16  October
17:10 		6 hours, 9 minutes 23:19 Expedition 73
ISS Poisk
  • Russia Sergey Ryzhikov
  • Russia Alexey Zubritsky
 Ryzhikov and Zubritsky ventured out and installed the Ekran-M payload onto the Nauka Module frame, jettisoned some cameras and a mounting platform, and cleaned the windows on the Zvezda Service Module. As getahead task they removed SKK panel 3 and Biorisk container 2 and brought them inside.[10]
