List of spacewalks and moonwalks 1965–1999
This list contains all spacewalks and moonwalks performed from 1965 to 1999 where an astronaut has fully or partially left a spacecraft. Entries for moonwalks are shown with a gray background while entries for all other EVAs are uncolored.
All spacewalks have had the astronauts tethered to their spacecraft except for seven spacewalks by the United States (six in 1984 using the Manned Maneuvering Unit, and one in 1994 testing the SAFER rescue device). All moonwalks were performed with astronauts untethered, and some of the astronauts traveled far enough to lose visual contact with their craft (they were up to 7.6 km away from it using the Lunar Rover). One lunar EVA was not a moonwalk, but rather a stand-up EVA partially out the top hatch of the LM, where it was thought that the extra height would help with surveying the area prior to conducting the moonwalks. Only three deep-space EVAs have ever been conducted, where the activity was neither on the lunar surface nor in Low Earth Orbit, but far away from both the Moon and the Earth.
1965–1969 spacewalks and moonwalks
Spacewalk beginning and ending times are given in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

18 March 1965 08:47:00 |
0 h 12 min |
Leonov conducted the first EVA in history.[1] Leonov had difficulty fitting back into the spacecraft due to spacesuit stiffness in vacuum, and vented air from his spacesuit in order to bend back into the capsule.[2] | |||||
2. | Gemini 4 | Edward White | 3 June 1965 19:46:00 |
3 June 1965 20:06:00 |
0 h 20 min |
White conducted the second EVA in history and the first American EVA.[3] White also had difficulty returning to the Gemini spacecraft. Although he was very fit and athletic, the effort left him exhausted.[4] | |||||
3. | Gemini 9A | Eugene Cernan | 5 June 1966 15:02:00 |
5 June 1966 17:09:00 |
2 h 7 min |
A complex work EVA was planned for Cernan, which involved him moving to the rear of the Gemini spacecraft and donning the Astronaut propulsion unit, developed by the U.S. Air Force.[5] Cernan expended four to five times the expected effort, raising his pulse as high as 180 beats per minute. Excess heat and respiration completely fogged Cernan's visor, and the EVA was cut short. Cernan also had difficulty returning to the spacecraft and closing the hatch.[6] | |||||
4. | Gemini 10 – EVA 1 | Michael Collins | 19 July 1966 21:44:00 |
19 July 1966 22:33:00 |
0 h 49 min |
Collins performed a stand-up EVA. Instead of climbing completely out of the spacecraft, Collins extended his torso outside the spacecraft to take photos before and after capsule sunrise. Color photography after sunrise was only partly completed due to severe eye irritation of both Collins and Command Pilot Young. Handling the camera proved difficult due to the stiffness of Collins' gloves.[7] | |||||
5. | Gemini 10 – EVA 2 | Michael Collins | 20 July 1966 23:01:00 |
20 July 1966 23:40:00 |
0 h 39 min |
Collins performed an umbilical EVA. With more difficulty than expected, Collins collected the micrometeorite collection package from the exterior of the Gemini spacecraft. Then, using the Hand Held Maneuvering Unit, he pushed to the nearby Agena Target Vehicle to collect its micrometeorite collection package. Collins then pulled on the umbilical cord to return and re-enter the spacecraft.[8] | |||||
6. | Gemini 11 – EVA 1 | Richard Gordon | 13 September 1966 14:44:00 |
13 September 1966 15:17:00 |
0 h 33 min |
Gordon attached a tether between the Gemini and Agena Target Vehicle for later orbital mechanics testing. While making the attachment, his workload exceeded the capacity of the spacesuit cooling system, and his vision became obscured by a fogged visor and sweat in his eyes. Planned activities were curtailed by Command Pilot Conrad and Gordon returned to the spacecraft.[9] | |||||
7. | Gemini 11 – EVA 2 | Richard Gordon | 14 September 1966 12:49:00 |
14 September 1966 14:57:00 |
2 h 08 min |
Gordon performed a stand-up EVA, extending through the hatch to take astronomical photos. Conrad reported the spacewalk was so relaxing they both fell asleep for a moment after sunrise.[10] | |||||
8. | Gemini 12 – EVA 1 | Buzz Aldrin | 12 November 1966 16:15:00 |
12 November 1966 18:44:00 |

13 November 1966 17:40:00 |
2 h 06 min |
Aldrin’s walk was the first completely successful umbilical EVA, with all objectives achieved. He was able to control his movements and restrict his workload using techniques developed using underwater zero gravity simulations. Aldrin also benefited from the experiences of the previous American EVAs. Aldrin was able to move around the outside of the craft, deploy and recover various experimental packages, install and remove cameras, and practice work techniques using a ratchet-type wrench.[12] | |||||
10. | Gemini 12 – EVA 3 | Buzz Aldrin | 14 November 1966 14:52:00 |
14 November 1966 15:47:00 |
0 h 55 min |
Aldrin performed another stand-up EVA. Aldrin again extended outside the hatch to take photographs and repeat the light exercise experiment. Exertion levels during exercise were comparable to preflight simulations. Equipment and waste food containers not needed for re-entry were jettisoned from the spacecraft.[13] | |||||
11. | Soyuz 4 & Soyuz 5 | Yevgeny Khrunov Aleksei Yeliseyev |
16 January 1969 12:43:00 |
16 January 1969 13:15:00 |
0 h 37 min |
Khrunov and Yeliseyev conducted the first two-man spacewalk. Both cosmonauts launched in Soyuz 5, which then docked with Soyuz 4. Khrunov and Yeliseyev performed an EVA to transfer to Soyuz 4. Although docked together, Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5 did not make an internal connection, necessitating the EVA. Khrunov and Yeliseyev returned to Earth aboard Soyuz 4.[14] | |||||
12. | Apollo 9 | Rusty Schweickart David Scott (Stand up only) |
6 March 1969 16:45:00 |
6 March 1969 18:02:00 |
1 h 17 min |
Schweickart exited the Lunar Module hatch, wearing the Portable Life Support System (PLSS) backpack. Schweickart's backpack provided oxygen, communications, and cooling, independent of his spacecraft. Scott extended out of the Command Module hatch but remained supported by the Command Module through an umbilical cord. Plans for Schweickart to move to the Command Module hatch were scrubbed due to severe space sickness he had suffered the day before.[15] | |||||

21 July 1969 05:11:13[16] |
2 h 31 min 40 s |
Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. Aldrin followed, describing the Moon as "magnificent desolation."[17] During their 2½ hour EVA, the team deployed the Early Apollo Scientific Experimental Package, took a call from President Nixon, collected rock and core samples, raised a US Flag, and took photographs.[18] Armstrong reported moving around on the Moon was easier than the simulation.[17] | |||||

Smith and Grunsfeld replaced a radio transmitter that had failed on Hubble in the previous year. They also replaced a data tape recorder with a solid-state recorder and added some insulation to the outer surface of Hubble.[149] |
For spacewalks that took place from 2000 through 2014, see List of spacewalks 2000–2014. For spacewalks that took place from the beginning of 2015 on, see List of spacewalks since 2015.
Commemorative stamps
The first spacewalk, that of the Soviet cosmonaut Alexey Leonov was commemorated in several Eastern Bloc stamps (see the stamps section in the Alexey Leonov article). Since the Soviet Union did not distribute diagrams or images of the Voskhod 2 spacecraft at the time, the spaceship depiction in the stamps was purely fictional. In 1967 the U.S. Post Office issued a postage stamp commemorating the first American to float freely in space while orbiting the Earth. The engraved image has accurate depiction of the Gemini IV spacecraft and the space suit worn by astronaut Ed White.[150]
