EVAs
| Start Date/Time | Duration | End Time | Spacecraft | Crew | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 January 20:23 |
2 hours 56 minutes |
23:19 | Mir EO-5 | Alexander Viktorenko Aleksandr Serebrov |
Installed new star tracker sensors launched in the Kvant-2 module onto Kvant-1. |
| 11 January 18:01 |
2 hours 54 minutes |
20:55 | Mir EO-5 | Alexander Viktorenko Aleksandr Serebrov |
Closed out experimental racks, either retrieving for return to earth, or discarding into space. Modified the docking node for the arrival of the Kristall module. |
| 26 January 12:09 |
3 hours 2 minutes |
15:11 | Mir EO-5 Kvant-2 |
Alexander Viktorenko Aleksandr Serebrov |
Tested the new Orlan-DMA spacesuit. This spacewalk team was the first use of the EVA airlock hatch on the Kvant-2 module. During the spacewalk a mooring post was attached outside the airlock, and a Kurs antenna was removed to enable future EVAs. |
| 1 February 08:15 |
4 hours 59 minutes |
13:14 | Mir EO-5 Kvant-2 |
Alexander Viktorenko Aleksandr Serebrov |
Tested the SPK "flying armchair", analogous to NASA's MMU. The SPK did not fly free, but remained tethered to Kvant-2 during the tests. |
| 5 February 06:08 |
3 hours 45 minutes |
09:53 | Mir EO-5 Kvant-2 |
Alexander Viktorenko Aleksandr Serebrov |
Conducted more tests of the SPK. Viktorenko reached as far as 45 metres (148 ft) from Mir. |
| 17 July 13:06 |
7 hours 15 minutes |
20:22 | Mir EO-6 Kvant-2 |
Anatoly Solovyev Aleksandr Balandin |
At the start of their EVA to repair torn insulation on the Soyuz TM-9, Solovyev and Balandin damaged the hatch on Kvant-2 by opening it before the airlock was completely depressurized. The spacewalking team repaired the insulation on Soyuz, but time constraints required returning to Kvant-2 before they collected their tools and ladders. Unable to securely close the damaged hatch, they used the center section of Kvant-2 as a back-up airlock. |
| 26 July 11:15 |
3 hours 31 minutes |
14:46 | Mir EO-6 Kvant-2 |
Anatoly Solovyev Aleksandr Balandin |
Transmitted images of the damaged hatch to TsUP, recovered the ladders and tools left outside earlier and removed debris lodged in the hinge of the airlock hatch, allowing the hatch to close and seal for repressurization. |
| 29 October 21:45 |
2 hours 45 minutes |
30 October 00:30 |
Mir EO-7 Kvant-2 |
Gennadi Manakov Gennady Strekalov |
After removing insulation around the damaged Kvant-2 hatch, they found the hatch to be more heavily damaged than previously understood. Although unable to completely repair the hatch, they added hardware to the hatch. |
