| 20 February 20:09 | 4 hours | 21 February 00:21 | Mir EO-10 Kvant-2 |  Aleksandr VolkovSergei Krikalev | Performed maintenance activities on the outside of Mir, including cleaning camera lenses. Volkov had problems with the cooling system on his Orlan space suit, and was limited in his mobility. | |
| 10 May 20:40 | 3 hours 43 minutes | 11 May 00:23 | STS-49 |  Pierre J. ThuotRichard Hieb | Thuot attempted to capture the Intelsat VI satellite using a capture bar while Hieb stood by to assist with placement in the payload bay. After multiple attempts to catch Intelsat VI, the spacewalkers returned to the airlock to consider the failed attempts.[1] | |
| 11 May 21:05 | 5 hours 30 minutes | 12 May 02:35 | STS-49 Endeavour | Pierre J. ThuotRichard Hieb | Thuot tried five more times to capture Intelsat VI while Hieb stood by to assist. Once again Thuot was unable to engage the capture bar to the satellite. | |
| 13 May 21:17 | 8 hours 29 minutes | 14 May 05:46 | STS-49 Endeavour | Pierre J. ThuotRichard HiebThomas Akers | Thuot, Hieb and Akers captured Intelsat VI with their hands. The trio then pulled the satellite into the payload bay, added a new perigee kick motor, and launched the satellite away from Endeavour. This spacewalk was the first three-person spacewalk in history. The three spacewalkers also set a new record for elapsed spacewalk time. | |
| 14 May ~21:00 | 7 hours 44 minutes | 15 May ~04:45 | STS-49 Endeavour | Thomas AkersKathryn C. Thornton | Tested space station assembly techniques on an experimental structure, the Assembly of Station by Extravehicular Activity Methods (ASEM). | |
| 8 July 12:38 | 2 hours 3 minutes | 14:41 | Mir EO-11 Kvant-2 | Aleksandr Kaleri | Inspected several gyrodynes, located on the Kvant-2 module, near the airlock to provide data needed to prepare for the planned repair and replacement work of the gyrodynes. | |
| 3 September 13:32 | 3 hours 56 minutes | 17:28 | Mir EO-12 Kvant-2 | Sergei AvdeyevAnatoly Solovyev | Moved the VDU thruster unit to its position and prepared the Sofora girder for installation of the VDU. | |
| 7 September 11:47 | 5 hours 8 minutes | 16:55 | Mir EO-12 Kvant-2 | Sergei AvdeyevAnatoly Solovyev | Installed the electrical and control cables needed by the VDU thruster for operation on the Sofora truss and recovered the Russian flag installed on the Sofora truss the year before. | |
| 11 September 10:06 | 5 hours 44 minutes | 15:50 | Mir EO-12 Kvant-2 | Sergei AvdeyevAnatoly Solovyev | Completed install of the VDU thruster on Sofora truss, and moved the truss into its extended position. | |
| 15 September 07:49 | 3 hours 33 minutes | 11:22 | Mir EO-12 Kvant-2 | Sergei AvdeyevAnatoly Solovyev | Collected samples of a solar array and relocated the Kurs docking antenna on the Kristall module in preparation of the arrival of Soyuz TM-16. |
