Russian cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky completed a nearly 7-hour spacewalk outside the ISS, installing experiments, cleaning a window, and relocating equipment on the Nauka module, while avoiding debris from an upcoming cargo vehicle.
Two Russian cosmonauts are performing a spacewalk outside the ISS to install experiment hardware on the Nauka module and relocate a control panel for the European robotic arm, with the event being streamed live despite a US government shutdown affecting NASA activities.
Russian cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky conducted a spacewalk outside the ISS to install a semiconductor experiment and dispose of an old HDTV camera, marking their second EVA together and supporting station maintenance and scientific research.
Two Russian cosmonauts, Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritskiy, are conducting a 5.5-hour spacewalk outside the ISS to perform maintenance and scientific experiments, with live coverage available through NASA and Space.com.
Chinese astronauts installed additional debris shielding on the Tiangong space station during a six-hour spacewalk, enhancing its protection against space debris, as part of ongoing maintenance and safety upgrades during the Shenzhou 20 mission.
Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station conducted a 6.5-hour spacewalk to enhance debris shielding and perform maintenance, marking their third extravehicular activity during a six-month mission focused on station upkeep and scientific experiments.
A 40-year-old NASA photo showing astronaut Dale Gardner performing an untethered spacewalk to retrieve a satellite remains iconic, highlighting a rare and daring mission from 1984 that demonstrated astronauts could operate freely in space without safety lines, a practice not repeated until a decade later.
NASA astronaut Dale Gardner performed a daring untethered spacewalk in 1984 to recover two malfunctioning communication satellites, capturing stunning and terrifying footage of the event, which highlights the risks and bravery involved in space exploration.
CNN features astronauts Nichole Ayers and Anne McClain discussing their recent all-female spacewalk, life aboard the ISS, and various space-related topics including launches, celestial phenomena, and space research.
On June 3, 1965, NASA astronaut Ed White performed the first American spacewalk during the Gemini 4 mission, marking a historic milestone in space exploration despite initial challenges with control and equipment, and providing valuable lessons for future EVAs.
On June 3, 1965, NASA astronaut Ed White became the first American to perform a spacewalk during the Gemini 4 mission, which lasted 23 minutes and helped study the effects of prolonged spaceflight.
NASA is addressing safety concerns related to the aging International Space Station (ISS) and its extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) spacesuits, which have been in use since the 1980s. Recent issues include a coolant leak during a planned spacewalk and a persistent leak on the Russian side of the ISS. NASA and Roscosmos are managing these challenges while planning for future commercial space stations and next-generation spacesuits. Despite these issues, NASA emphasizes safety and collaboration with Russian counterparts.
NASA will hold a rare press conference to address the Hubble Space Telescope entering safe mode due to a malfunctioning gyroscope. The telescope, which requires at least three gyroscopes to operate fully, has faced multiple gyro failures since its last refurbishment in 2009. While a private mission led by Jared Isaacman has been proposed to service Hubble, it carries significant risks. The press conference will provide updates on Hubble's operational status and future plans.
Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko discovered a mysterious blob of coolant while fixing a leaking radiator outside the International Space Station, prompting Moscow Mission Control to order his immediate return to the ISS.
On June 3, 1965, astronaut Ed White became the first American to walk in space during the Gemini 4 mission. White spent about 20 minutes outside the capsule, using a hand-held propulsion gun before it ran out of fuel. Despite the challenges, White described the experience as "tremendous" and was reluctant to return to the capsule. Tragically, White died less than two years later in the Apollo 1 cabin fire. His historic spacewalk paved the way for future space exploration.
