EVAs

Start Date/Time	Duration	End Time	Spacecraft	Crew	Remarks
17 January	4 hours 28 minutes		STS-54 Endeavour	Gregory J. Harbaugh Mario Runco, Jr.	Tested space station construction techniques and mobility techniques.^[12]
19 April 17:15	5 hours 25 minutes	22:40	Mir EO-13 Kvant-2	Gennadi Manakov Aleksandr Poleshchuk	Used the Strela boom to install an electric motor on the Kvant-1 module for solar arrays originally installed on the Kristall module. After the installation, Poleshchuk noticed that one of the handles on the Strela boom had become loose and drifted away from Mir. The loss of the Strela handle meant the next EVA would have to be delayed until a new handle could be lifted to orbit the next Progress supply launch.
18 June 17:25	4 hours 33 minutes	21:58	Mir EO-13 Kvant-2	Gennadi Manakov Aleksandr Poleschuk	After receiving the replacement part, Manakov and Poleshchuk first repaired the Strela boom and then installed the second electric drive for the solar array.
25 June	5 hours 50 minutes		STS-57 Endeavour	G. David Low Peter Wisoff	Helped secure the antenna on the captured EURECA satellite in its stored position for return to Earth. Then both spacewalkers practiced construction maneuvers on the RMS.^[13]
16 September 05:57	4 hours 18 minutes	10:16	Mir EO-14 Kvant-2	Vasily Tsibliyev Aleksandr Serebrov	Began assembly of the experimental Rapana truss structure.
16 September 08:40	7 hours 5 minutes	15:45	STS-51 Discovery	James H. Newman Carl E. Walz	Carried out tests on tools, tethers, and a foot restraint system in anticipation of the repair of the Hubble Space Telescope. A stuck tool chest lid slowed the closeout of spacewalk for at least 45 minutes.^[14]
20 September 03:51	3 hours 13 minutes	07:05	Mir EO-14 Kvant-2	Vasily Tsibliyev Aleksandr Serebrov	Completed assembly of the Rapana truss.
28 September 00:57	1 hour 52 minutes	02:48	Mir EO-14 Kvant-2	Vasily Tsibliyev Aleksandr Serebrov	Inspected the Mir exterior for damage from the recent Perseid meteoroid shower. The most notable damage they found was a 5-millimetre (0.20 in) hole on one of the solar arrays.
22 October 15:47	38 minutes	16:25	Mir EO-14 Kvant-2	Vasily Tsibliyev Aleksandr Serebrov	Continued their inspection of the Mir exterior for damage from the Perseids.
29 October 13:38	4 hours 12 minutes	17:50	Mir EO-14 Kvant-2	Vasily Tsibliyev Aleksandr Serebrov	Completed their inspection of the entire outer surface of the Mir. They observed several marks on the hull, there were no complete penetrations. The spacewalking team did notice an unidentified piece of metal drifting by the orbital complex during their inspections.
5 December 03:44	7 hours 54 minutes	11:38	STS-61 Endeavour	Story Musgrave Jeffrey A. Hoffman	HST servicing: Replaced two sets of gryoscopes and electrical control units, as well as a set of eight fuses. The spacewalks had considerable difficulty closing the latches on the doors due to thermal expansion of the closure bolts. Before re-entering the shuttle, the team prepared the payload bay for the next EVA.^[15]
6 December 03:29	6 hours 36 minutes	10:05	STS-61 Endeavour	Kathryn C. Thornton Thomas Akers	HST servicing: Thorton rode the RMS to handle the solar arrays while Akers made the cable connections as the team replaced two solar arrays on Hubble. One array was discarded into space, and one array was furled and stowed for return to earth.^[15]
7 December 03:35	6 hours 47 minutes	10:22	STS-61 Endeavour	Story Musgrave Jeffrey A. Hoffman	HST servicing: Replaced the WFPC with WFPC 2 and two magnetometers.^[15]
8 December 03:13	7 hours 21 minutes	10:03	STS-61 Endeavour	Kathryn C. Thornton Thomas Akers	HST servicing: Replaced Hubble's High Speed Photometer (HSP) with the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR). This replacement fixed the spherical aberration in Hubble's mirror. The HSP was stowed for return to earth.^[15]
9 December 03:30	7 hours 21 minutes	10:51	STS-61 Endeavour	Story Musgrave Jeffrey A. Hoffman	HST servicing: Replaced the electronics for the solar array drive motors. They also placed some made-on-Endeavour covers over the new magnetometers to protect them from debris.^[15]
