An artist's rendering of the fully assembled International Space Station, as it would appear from a spacecraft flying overhead |
The International Space Station (ISS) is a research facility being assembled in space. The station is in a low Earth orbit about 350 km (190 mi) above the surface of the Earth, and can be seen from Earth with the naked eye. Assembly began in 1998, and is expected to continue through 2010. The ISS is a joint project of sixteen countries and six space agencies: the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Russian Federal Space Agency (RSA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA/ASC), Brazilian Space Agency (AEB) and the European Space Agency (ESA).
Spacewalks for the support of the International Space Station are major milestones in the building and maintaining of the orbital laboratory. Spacewalks are performed to install new components to the station, to re-wire systems, modules, and equipment, and to monitor, install, and retrieve scientific experiments.
Due to the complexity of building a station in space, NASA and its partners train astronauts extensively, preparing them to encounter surprises during spacewalks, teaching them how to assemble special tools and equipment, and carefully coordinating every activity during spacewalks. From 1998 to 2005, thirty-seven space shuttle missions were scheduled to assemble, outfit and begin experiments and research aboard the station.
The initial spacewalk to begin the assembly of the International Space Station was held on December 7, 1998, following the launch of the first section of the station, Zarya, from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, on November 20, 1998. The spacewalk attached the U.S. built Unity node to Zarya. The longest spacewalk was performed on March 11, 2001, when STS-102 crew members Susan J. Helms and James S. Voss conducted a full spacewalk, and then returned to the airlock, but remained in their suits ready to exit the airlock again in case the robotics operations ran into problems. The total time for that spacewalk was eight hours and fifty-six minutes.
As of June 10, 2009, there have been 125 spacewalks devoted to assembly and maintenance of the International Space Station. A total time of 780 hours and six minutes has been spent in extra-vehicular activity (EVA), with 97 of these EVAs performed from the station, totaling 579 hours and 42 minutes in spacewalk time from the station itself.
Twenty-eight spacewalks have been performed from a shuttle, sixty-eight from the Quest Joint Airlock, twenty-seven from the Pirs docking compartment, and two from the transfer compartment at the forward end of the Zvezda Service Module.
‡ denotes spacewalks performed from the Pirs docking compartment in Russian Orlan suits.
† denotes spacewalks performed from the visiting space shuttle's airlock.
All other spacewalks were performed from the Quest airlock.
ISS Expedition spacewalks are separated from shuttle spacewalks by a separator.
