List of Salyut spacewalks
Encyclopedia
This is a list of spacewalks conducted from the Salyut space stations. Salyut was a Soviet
programme which consisted of a number of early space stations, including the first space station to be launched, Salyut 1
. Six of the space stations launched as part of the Salyut programme were manned, and spacewalks were made from two of these, Salyut 6
and Salyut 7
. A total of sixteen spacewalks were made in the Salyut programme; three from Salyut 6 and thirteen from Salyut 7. Each involved two cosmonauts. Fifteen different cosmonauts performed the spacewalks, with several performing multiple EVAs. Leonid Kizim
and Vladimir Solovyov
each performed eight EVAs, the most of any cosmonauts in the programme.
All of the EVAs were conducted by cosmonauts who part of an Expedition crew, with the exception of one spacewalk by Visiting Expedition 4 cosmonauts Svetlana Savitskaya
and Vladimir Dzhanibekov
, on which Savitskaya became the first woman to perform an EVA. This is highlighted in light blue.
