Installed cables to provide for more expansive wireless communications coverage outside the orbital complex.[28] Relocated an adapter plate from the March 22 spacewalk in preparation for future battery upgrade operations[31]
29 May 15:42	6 hours 1 minute	21:43	Expedition 59 ISS Pirs	Oleg Kononenko Aleksey Ovchinin	Removed experiments from the Pirs docking compartment and cleaned the windows. Installed a handrail to connect Zarya to Poisk and re-positioned the Plume Measuring Unit. Moved to the Zvesda Service Module and removed and jettisoned the Plasma Monitoring Units. Wished happy birthday to Alexei Leonov who is the first spacewalker and is celebrating his 85th birthday on 30 May. Also brought a picture of Leonov into space with them.
21 Aug 12:27	6 hours 32 minutes	18:59	Expedition 60 ISS Quest	Nick Hague Andrew R. Morgan	Hague and Morgan installed the final International Docking Adapter on the Harmony Module. Task for this spacewalk was identical to Spacewalk 194 and required work by both spacewalkers and Dextre to get the docking port installed in preparation for its test by the Boeing CST-100 Starliner which will occur at the end of October. The crew also routed cables and installed Wi-Fi routers for upcoming experiments. [32]
6 October 11:39	7 hours 01 minutes	18:40	Expedition 61 ISS Quest	Christina Koch Andrew R. Morgan	This spacewalk was the first of Expedition 61 and the first of a series of 5 to replace and improve ISS batteries on the P6 truss. [33]
11 October 11:38	6 hours 45 minutes	18:23	Expedition 61 ISS Quest	Andrew R. Morgan Christina Koch	This spacewalk was the second of Expedition 61 and the second of a series of 5 to replace and improve ISS batteries on the P6 truss. Before they went out the hatch Mission Control Moscow relayed to the crew Alexei Leonov had passed away and this spacewalk is dedicated to him. As the crew came in and took off their suits each gave a choice of words before station commander Luca Parmitano said "Farewell Alexei, and ad astra." [34] [35]
18 October 11:38	7 hours 17 minutes	18:55	Expedition 61 ISS Quest	Christina Koch Jessica Meir	This spacewalk was to be the third of Expedition 61 and the third of a series of five to replace and improve ISS batteries on the P6 truss. Some of the battery swaps were delayed to EVA 222 because of a failure in a Battery Charge Discharge Unit on the P6 Truss taking the 4B battery channel partially offline. Koch and Meir replaced the failed unit and brought it inside. They wrapped up the spacewalk by installing a stanchion on the Columbus Module and routing a cable on the Destiny Lab module.[36] This was the first all-female spacewalk. During the spacewalk President Trump called the station and congratulated Koch and Meir on this milestone.[37]
15 November 11:39	6 hours 39 minutes	18:18	Expedition 61 ISS Quest	Luca Parmitano Andrew Morgan	First of a series of four spacewalks to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer which suffered a power failure last year in one of its four cooling pumps limiting the operation of the experiment. Parmitano and Morgan went outside and removed a cover plate from AMS and jettisoned it into space to make way for a cryo pump that they will assemble between spacewalks. Some of the bolts put up a fight but Parmitano got them all out. The highlight of the spacewalk is when Andrew Morgan threw the cover plate overboard and it drifted off aft of the station into the vacuum of space. The plate will stay in orbit for a few days until the end of December when it enters the atmosphere and burns up. The crew also removed several carbon fiber strips around fluid lines and installed handrails and grapple bars as get-ahead task.[38]
22 November 12:02	6 hours 33 minutes	18:35	Expedition 61 ISS Quest	Luca Parmitano Andrew Morgan	The second in a series of four spacewalks to repair the AMS. Parmitano and Morgan cut fluid lines and installed a vent on the AMS Experiment to prep the old cooling pump for removal on the third spacewalk. Parmitano and Morgan also routed cables and installed a new power supply to power the pumps when they are installed on the third spacewalk.[39]
2 December 11:31	6 hours 2 minutes	17:33	Expedition 61 ISS Quest	Luca Parmitano Andrew Morgan	The third in a series of four spacewalks to repair the AMS. Parmitano and Morgan went out on the third spacewalk and installed the cryo pump and routed fluid and electrical lines to power the pump. Flight controllers in Houston, Huntsville, and at CERN activated the experiment and radioed to the crew that AMS passed with flying colors. The crew finished the spacewalk by doing a get-ahead task by covering AMS with thermal blanket.[40]
