This is a list of the 26 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 spacewalk attached the U.S.-built Unity node to Zarya. [4] The longest spacewalk was performed on 11 March 2001, when STS-102 crew members Susan J. Helms and James 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 ...
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.

China says two of its astronauts completed a nine-hour spacewalk Tuesday, a figure that beats the US-held record for the world’s longest spacewalk set in 2001, in the latest milestone in the ...
The longest spacewalk is 9 hours and six minutes performed by Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong on December 17, 2024. [11] [12] The previous record was held by USA astronauts James Voss and Susan Helms, who made eight hours and 56 minutes EVA outside Space Shuttle Discovery on March 11, 2001. [22]
His first EVA on 22 August 1997 was an unusual "internal spacewalk" [13] to connect power and survey damage to the depressurised Spektr module. This had been holed in the collision with Progress M-34 on 25 June. [14] Solovyev performed six more EVAs to set a world record total of 16, with a world record combined duration of 82 hours 21 minutes.
The two taikonauts completed the longest spacewalk in human history with the assistance of the space station's robotic arms and ground-based scientific personnel, completed tasks such as the installation of space debris protection devices, inspection, and maintenance of external equipment and facilities.

The third spacewalk, which also included astronaut Thomas Akers, was the first-ever three-person spacewalk. This 8 hour and 29 minute spacewalk, the longest in history, broke a twenty-year-old record that was held by the Apollo 17 astronauts. The mission concluded on May 16, 1992, with a landing at Edwards Air Force Base after orbiting the ...
