List of cumulative spacewalk records explained

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. This list is current as of August 9, 2023.[3] [1] [4] The RSA designation includes spacewalks under the earlier Soviet space program.

Notes

Behnken and Cassidy are the first to complete 10 spacewalks in NASA EMU suits. Whitson and López-Alegría used Russian Orlan Space Suits for some of their spacewalks: López-Alegría completed 2 and Whitson completed 1 spacewalk(s) with an Orlan Space Suit.[9] [10] [11]
