NASA released photos from a March 18, 2026 spacewalk by Jessica Meir and Chris Williams to install a modification kit and brackets ahead of future roll-out solar arrays on the ISS 2A power channel, a seven-hour excursion that marked Meir's fourth spacewalk and Williams' first as they supported maintenance and upgrades for the station.
A satellite operated by HEO Space captured a rare three-panel image of the International Space Station during a March 18 spacewalk by NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Chris Williams outside the Quest airlock to prepare a new solar array; the photo, shared by HEO Space and later colorized for Reddit, underscores the growing role of satellites in high‑res space imagery and debris monitoring, with partners like BlackSky enabling multi-angle observations as orbital traffic expands.
NASA astronauts completed a seven-hour spacewalk on March 18–19, 2026 to prepare the International Space Station for new roll-out solar arrays, a key step in boosting the station’s power and extending its operational life; the crew debriefed on the work and ground teams plan the installation as part of NASA’s ISS modernization and long‑term exploration efforts.
During a spacewalk outside the International Space Station, astronauts spotted a mysterious ‘blob’ and were told to leave the area, but it was later identified as coolant leaking from a radiator. The leak was contained and the astronauts returned to the station. The article also notes the ISS’s long-term operation and a planned de-orbit in 2031.
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Chris Williams are slated to conduct a long-delayed spacewalk outside the International Space Station around 8 a.m. EDT today, after a SpaceX Crew-11 medical evacuation postponed an earlier EVA that would have involved Mike Fincke. The outing will prep a power channel for the future iROSA solar arrays, with live coverage beginning at 6:30 a.m. EDT.
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.
