Extra-Vehicular Activity

Start Date/Time	Duration	End Time	Spacecraft	Crew	Remarks
19 April 14:03^[9]^[10]	6 hours 38 minutes	20:41	Expedition 35/36 ISS Pirs	Pavel Vinogradov Roman Romanenko	Installed the Obstanovka plasma waves and ionosphere experiment to the exterior of the Zvezda service module. Also replaced a faulty retro-reflector device used as navigational aids for the Automatic Transfer Vehicle and retrieved the Biorisk microbe exposure experiment. An attempt to retrieve the Vinoslivost materials sample experiment failed when it was accidentally dropped while being taken back to the Pirs module airlock.
11 May 12:44^[11]^[12]	5 hours 30 minutes	18:14	Expedition 35/36 ISS Quest	Christopher Cassidy Thomas Marshburn	Replaced the 2B Pump Flow Control Subassembly (PFCS) on the Port 6 truss in attempting to locate the source of an ammonia coolant leak on the Port 6 truss Photo Voltaic Thermal Control System (PVTCS).
24 June 13:32^[13]^[14]	6 hours 34 minutes	20:06	Expedition 36/37 ISS Pirs	Fyodor Yurchikhin Aleksandr Misurkin	Replaced a fluid flow regulator on the Zarya module, testing of the Kurs docking system on the station ahead of the arrival of a new Russian module, installing the “Indicator” experiment, installing gap spanners on to the outside of the station and photographing the multilayer insulation (MLI) protecting the Russian segment from micrometeoroids and taking samples from the exterior surface of the pressure hull underneath the MLI to identify signs of pressure hull material microscopic deterioration.
9 July 12:02^[15]^[16]	6 hours 7 minutes	18:09	Expedition 36/37 ISS Quest	Christopher Cassidy Luca Parmitano	Replaced a failed Space-to-Ground Transmitter Receiver Controller and the Mobile Base Camera Light Pan-Tilt Assembly, retrieved the MISSE-8 and ORMatE-III experiments, photographed the AMS-02, moved two Radiator Grapple Bars to either sides of the truss, routed power cables to support the addition of the new Russian MLM and installed a multi-layer insulation cover to protect the docking interface of PMA-2.
16 July 11:57	1 hours 32 minutes	13:29	Expedition 36/37 ISS Quest	Christopher Cassidy Luca Parmitano	Installed a Y-bypass jumper on power lines on the Z1 truss, routing 1553 data cables for a grapple fixture and Ethernet cables for a future Russian station module. The spacewalk was then cut short after Parmitano reported excess water leaking inside his helmet. ^[17]^[18]^[19]
16 August 14:36	7 hours 29 minutes	22:05	Expedition 36/37 ISS Pirs	Fyodor Yurchikhin Aleksandr Misurkin	Routed power and ethernet cables for later attachment to the future Nauka module. Also installed connectors between modules and a material science experiment.^[20]^[21]
22 August 11:34	5 hours 58 minutes	17:32	Expedition 36/37 ISS Pirs	Fyodor Yurchikhin Aleksandr Misurkin	Removed a laser communication and installed an EVA work station and camera pointing platform outside the Zvezda service module, inspection and tightening of various antenna covers on Zvezda, and installed new spacewalk aids.^[22]^[23]
