Astronaut's Breathtaking Spacewalk Captures Earth's Beauty and a Shooting Star! This image captures an extraordinary first-person perspective of an astronaut on an Extravehicular Activity (EVA), offering a rare glimpse into the profound solitude and immense scale of space. The astronaut's golden visor reflects the intricate details of their surroundings, while the Earth's vibrant blue curve dominates the horizon. Above, a celestial ballet unfolds with countless stars and a fleeting green meteor

The three Chinese astronauts, or taikonauts, have been in good physical condition after completing their first extravehicular activity on July 4, according to the China Manned Space Agency. #SpaceLog #SpaceChina Read more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2021-07-19/Space-log-Taikonauts-in-good-health-after-first-spacewalk-1207mSuu3kI/index.html | CGTN

The Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Spacesuit | SpaceX FriendsofNASA.org: At ~700 km above Earth, the extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuit will support the Polaris Dawn crew in the vacuum of space during the first-ever commercial astronaut spacewalk. Evolved from the Intravehicular Activity (IVA) suit, the EVA suit provides greater mobility, a state-of-the-art helmet Heads-Up Display (HUD) and camera, new thermal management textiles, and materials borrowed from Falcon’s interstage and Dragon’s

In 1965, NASA astronaut Ed White conducted the first American spacewalk during Gemini 4, demonstrating that astronauts could maneuver and work in open space, a milestone that enabled future missions involving spacecraft repair, station assembly, and long-duration human presence in orbit.

Historic footage from Apollo 9 shows the first full test of true spacewalk systems in Earth orbit. What may look unstable is normal in microgravity, as visor and checklist hardware float freely. This mission proved astronauts could work safely outside a spacecraft before going to the Moon. Follow @spaceeves #Apollo9 #Spacewalk #NASA #SpaceHistory | SpaceEve

The return capsule of the Shenzhou-20 spaceship, carrying no astronauts, touched down at the Dongfeng landing site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on January 19, bringing back a valuable retired extravehicular spacesuit as part of its return cargo. Extravehicular spacesuit B is the first of its kind on China's space station and holds the distinction of supporting 20 extravehicular activities (EVAs) within four years, exceeding its design goal.

February 7, 1984 marked one of the most daring moments in space exploration. During Space Shuttle Challenger’s mission, astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first human to perform an untethered spacewalk, floating freely in space without any safety line. Using the nitrogen-powered Manned Maneuvering Unit, he maneuvered himself nearly 320 feet away from the shuttle, orbiting about 170 miles above Earth at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, experiencing complete freedom in the vacuum of space.
