{{Short description| None}}
This list contains all spacewalks performed between 2015-2024 where an astronaut has fully, or partially left the spacecraft.{{Cite web |last=McDowell |first=Jonathan |author-link=Jonathan McDowell |date=2024-09-12 |title=List of spacewalks |url=https://planet4589.org/space/astro/lists/evas.html |access-date=2024-09-12 |website=planet4589.org}}
As of 19 August 2016, 215 astronauts have made spacewalks (out of 549 people who have gone into Earth orbit).{{cite news| url=http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/democurrent.html| title=Current Space Demographics| access-date = 2007-10-26| publisher=CBS News| year=2007| author=William Harwood}}{{cite web| author= National Aeronautics and Space Administration| title=Extravehicular Activities (EVA) Statistics Current as of 2/23/08| date=2008-09-29| publisher=NASA Office of Space Operations| url =http://www.hq.nasa.gov/osf/EVA/EVA_totals_table.html| access-date =August 12, 2007 | url-status=dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070808173330/http://www.hq.nasa.gov/osf/EVA/EVA_totals_table.html | archive-date =August 8, 2007}}{{cite web| last = Alexander| first = Anikeev| title = Manned astronautics: facts and figures| date = 2006-09-11| url = http://space.kursknet.ru/cosmos/english/other/eva_cnt.sht| access-date = 2006-09-15| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060908033813/http://space.kursknet.ru/cosmos/english/other/eva_cnt.sht| archive-date = 2006-09-08}}{{Cite web | title=官方｜神舟十五号乘组刷新中国航天员单个乘组出舱活动纪录 工程全线加紧备战空间站应用与发展阶段首次飞行任务 | url=http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MzI0NTU3MTk1Nw==&mid=2247532272&idx=1&sn=6943b862b6bedcc40bab4128014626d6&chksm=e94eb6eade393ffc1576ebbf37666ee1d24df5737d4f4d3b6acffa728d4a0277df8e0f0a1c0f#rd | access-date=2023-04-16 | website=Weixin Official Accounts Platform}}
Since 1981, NASA has measured spacewalk duration from when the suits went to internal power until the start of airlock re-pressurization. Roscosmos and China have always used the time from hatch opening to hatch closure. These charts typically follow the agency's measurements of spacewalk duration, because those figures tend to be the most readily available, as they are most often provided by the agency.
2015–2019 spacewalks
Spacewalk beginning and ending times are given in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

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.{{cite news | last1=Garcia | first1=Mark | title=NASA Astronauts Wrap Up Historic All-Woman Spacewalk | url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2019/10/18/nasa-astronauts-wrap-up-historic-all-woman-spacewalk/ | access-date=21 November 2019 | work=NASA Space Station | publisher=NASA | date=18 October 2019}} This was the first all-female spacewalk.

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.{{Cite web| url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2019/11/15/spacewalkers-complete-first-excursion-to-repair-cosmic-particle-detector/| title=Spacewalkers Complete First Excursion to Repair Cosmic Particle Detector – Space Station| website=blogs.nasa.gov| date=15 November 2019 | language=en-US| access-date=November 15, 2019}} |

Spacewalk suffered a 15- minute delay when Koch lost her helmet lights and camera. Meir managed to attach a hook onto the camera to prevent it from floating away and stowed it in Koch's tool bag. The spacewalkers managed to replace two batteries plus a third as a getahead task and had to stay in signal range of the WETA antennas so Meir could check on Koch at night who did not have any helmet lights. The spacewalkers will replace the camera between spacewalks and will head back out to replace the final three batteries on the next spacewalk.{{Cite web| url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2020/01/15/astronauts-wrap-up-first-spacewalk-of-2020/| title=Astronauts Wrap Up First Spacewalk of 2020 – Space Station| website=blogs.nasa.gov| date=15 January 2020 | language=en-US| access-date=2020-01-15}} |

The two spacewalkers completed all the task and at 17:30 hours, Luca Parmitano opened a valve to start the flow of CO2 gas to AMS and contacted CERN to turn the experiment on. AMS passed all test and worked flawlessly. A leak was found in a cooling line but Parmitano patched it and the spacewalk resumed without incident. As a getahead task Parmitano and Morgan cleaned and replaced glare filters on the NASA TV cameras used to film the spacewalk.{{Cite web| url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2020/01/25/astronauts-wrap-up-spacewalk-repair-job-on-cosmic-ray-detector/| title=Astronauts Wrap Up Spacewalk Repair Job on Cosmic Ray Detector – Space Station| website=blogs.nasa.gov| date=25 January 2020 | language=en-US| access-date=2020-01-25}} |

During one of the vents, Kononenko got sprayed and the coolant got on one of his tethers. The tether was placed in a trash bag and stowed externally to decontaminate it, while Kononenko's suit was wiped down to prevent coolant from entering the station. During the radar deployment, one of the hinges got stuck. The cosmonauts will go out on the next spacewalk with a pole and lock the hinges so it can be deployed. During the satellite deployment, the telescoping booms did not come out and ground controllers are working to manually deploy them so the satellite can track the sun.{{Cite web | last=Garcia | first=Mark | date=2023-10-16 | title=Spacewalk Dates Adjusted; Cargo Operations Begin the Crew's Week | url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/10/16/spacewalk-dates-adjusted-cargo-operations-begin-the-crews-week/ | access-date=2023-10-18 | website=blogs.nasa.gov | language=en-US}}{{Cite web | last=Graf | first=Abby | date=2023-10-25 | title=Cosmonauts Begin Spacewalk to Install Scientific Payloads and Inspect Radiator | url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/10/25/cosmonauts-begin-spacewalk-to-install-scientific-payloads-and-inspect-radiator/ | access-date=2023-10-25 | website=blogs.nasa.gov | language=en-US}}{{Cite web | last=Graf | first=Abby | date=2023-10-25 | title=Cosmonauts Finish Spacewalk Following Hardware Installs and Inspections | url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/10/25/cosmonauts-finish-spacewalk-following-hardware-installs-and-inspections/ | access-date=2023-10-26 | website=blogs.nasa.gov | language=en-US}} |

They also replaced a damaged Trundle Bearing under Cover 2 which had been giving them trouble in the past and greased the tracks before the new Trundle Bearing was installed on the port SARJ, secured a cable on Camera 8 which was shorting out a light used for dockings, and released wedge clamps on the SASA antenna. The primary task to retrieve the SASA antenna from ESP2 so it can be returned to Earth on SpaceX CRS-29 was moved to the next spacewalk because of issues removing the covers from the SARJ. O'Hara was not secured properly during the removal and had to be assisted by Moghbeli to get the cover stowed. During the spacewalk, the bag containing the grease gun was lost, but the tools were not needed and the bag posed no collision risk to the station. This was the fourth all-female spacewalk on the station, following Christina Koch and Jessica Meir's three spacewalks during Expedition 61.{{Cite web | last=Garcia | first=Mark | date=3 October 2023 | title=Crew Preps for Spacewalks to Analyze Microbes, Replace Hardware | url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/10/03/crew-preps-for-spacewalks-to-analyze-microbes-replace-hardware/ | access-date=4 October 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231018035521/https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/10/03/crew-preps-for-spacewalks-to-analyze-microbes-replace-hardware/ | archive-date=18 October 2023 | url-status=live | publisher=NASA | website=blogs.nasa.gov}}{{Cite web | last=Garcia | first=Mark | date=1 November 2023 | title=Two Spacewalkers Exit Station for Communications, Solar Array Work | url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/11/01/two-spacewalkers-exit-station-for-communications-solar-array-work/ | access-date=1 November 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231102000443/https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/11/01/two-spacewalkers-exit-station-for-communications-solar-array-work/ | archive-date=2 November 2023 | url-status=live | publisher=NASA | website=blogs.nasa.gov}}{{Cite web | last=Garcia | first=Mark | date=1 November 2023 | title=Astronauts Complete Spacewalk, Dragon Launch Moves to Nov. 7 | url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/11/01/astronauts-enter-station-complete-spacewalk/ | access-date=1 November 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231108191056/https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/11/01/astronauts-enter-station-complete-spacewalk/ | archive-date=8 November 2023 | url-status=live | publisher=NASA | website=blogs.nasa.gov}} |
