| 12 May 04:20 |6 hours |10:35 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Vladimir Dezhurov |Made preparations for the arrival of the Spektr module. Installed some electrical cable attachments, adjusted solar array actuators, and practiced folding the Kristall solar arrays for the future move to Kvant-1.{{cite web|url=http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/history/shuttle-mir/references/documents/mirfinal.pdf|title=Mir Mission Chronicle |last=McDonald|first=Sue |date=December 1998 |publisher=NASA |pages=12|access-date=2009-03-06| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090318000952/http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/history/shuttle-mir/references/documents/mirfinal.pdf| archive-date= 18 March 2009 | url-status= dead}} |
| 17 May 02:38 |6 hours |09:20 |Mir EO-18 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Vladimir Dezhurov |Moved the solar arrays from Kristall to Kvant-1. Their suits ran low on oxygen before they were able to re-install the arrays on Kvant-1. |
| 22 May 00:10 |5 hours |05:25 |Mir EO-18 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Vladimir Dezhurov |Completed installation of the relocated solar array on Kvant-1. Also retracted some solar panels to prepare for moving Kristall. |
| 28 May 22:22 |21 minutes |22:43 |Mir EO-18 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Vladimir Dezhurov |Conducting a spacewalk inside the transfer compartment of the Mir base block Dezhurov and Strekalov relocated a docking cone from the -X port to the -Z port. |
| 1 June 22:05 |23 minutes |22:28 |Mir EO-18 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Vladimir Dezhurov |Again working from the depressurized base block transfer compartment, Dezhurov and Strekalov prepared to move the recently arrived Spektr module by relocating a docking cone from the -Z port to the -Y port. |
| 14 July 03:56 |5 hours |09:30 |Mir EO-19 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Anatoly Solovyev |Used the Strela boom to move to the Spektr module and freed the stuck solar array. Also inspected the -Z docking port and found it to be undamaged. |
| 19 July 00:39 |3 hours |03:47 |Mir EO-19 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Anatoly Solovyev |Solovyev had problems with his Orlan-DMA spacesuit cooling system, and had to stay tethered to an umbilical at Kvant-2. Budarin was able work his way to the far end of Spektr and do some preparations for the installation of the Mir infrared spectrometer (MIRAS). He also collected the American TREK cosmic ray panel that had been installed on Kvant-2 since 1991. |
| 21 July 00:28 |5 hours |06:18 |Mir EO-19 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Anatoly Solovyev |Used the Strela boom to reach the Spektr module, where they completed the installation of MIRAS. |
| {{nowrap|16 September}} 08:20 |6 hours |15:06 |STS-69 |{{flagicon|USA}}James S. Voss |Installed thermal instruments on the apparatus in the payload bay. Also tested redesigned spacesuit helmet lights and spacesuit heaters.{{cite web|url=http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-69/sts-69-day-09-highlights.html|title=STS-69 Day 9 Highlights|last=Dudoulin|first=Jim|year=2001|work=NASA Space Shuttle Launch Archive|publisher=NASA|access-date=2009-03-06| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090321053954/http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-69/sts-69-day-09-highlights.html| archive-date= 21 March 2009 | url-status= live}} |
| 20 October 11:50 |5 hours |17:06 |Mir EO-20 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Sergei Avdeyev |Used the Strela boom to move to the Spektr module and installed several experiments on the European Space Exposure Facility. Reiter became the first ESA cosmonaut and German to complete an EVA.{{cite report|title=Mir Principal Expedition 20 and EuroMir 95 |url=https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/static/history/SP-4225/documentation/mmc/mirmc-mir20.pdf |pages=28,34|access-date=22 February 2025}} |
| 8 December 19:23 |29 minutes |19:52 |Mir EO-20 |{{flagicon|RUS}}Sergei Avdeyev |From inside the depressurized base block transfer compartment, Avdeyev and Gidzenko moved the Konus docking cone from the -Z port to the +Z port.. |
