11:56 		4 hours
39 minutes 		16:35 STS-63
Discovery 		Template:Flagicon/Template:FlagiconMichael Foale
Template:FlagiconBernard A. Harris, Jr. 		Conducted a test of moving large mass objects and tested the effectiveness of the new spacesuit temperature control underwear by being lofted outside the payload bay by the RMS.[5]
12 May
04:20 		6 hours
15 minutes 		10:35 Mir EO-18
Kvant-2 		Template:FlagiconVladimir Dezhurov
Template:FlagiconGennadi Strekalov 		Made preparations for the arrival of the Spektr module. Installed some electrical cable attachments, adjusted solar array actuators, and practiced folding the Kristall solar arrays for the future move to Kvant-1.[6]
17 May
02:38 		6 hours
42 minutes 		09:20 Mir EO-18
Kvant-2 		Template:FlagiconVladimir Dezhurov
Template:FlagiconGennadi Strekalov 		Moved the solar arrays from Kristall to Kvant-1. Their suits ran low on oxygen before they were able to re-install the arrays on Kvant-1.[6]
22 May
00:10 		5 hours
15 minutes 		05:25 Mir EO-18
Kvant-2 		Template:FlagiconVladimir Dezhurov
Template:FlagiconGennadi Strekalov 		Completed installation of the relocated solar array on Kvant-1. Also retracted some solar panels to prepare for moving Kristall.[6]
28 May
22:22 		21 minutes 22:43 Mir EO-18
base block 		Template:FlagiconVladimir Dezhurov
Template:FlagiconGennadi Strekalov 		Conducting a spacewalk inside the transfer compartment of the Mir base block Dezhurov and Strekalov relocated a docking cone from the -X port to the -Z port.
1 June
22:05 		23 minutes 22:28 Mir EO-18
base block 		Template:FlagiconVladimir Dezhurov
Template:FlagiconGennadi Strekalov 		Again working from the depressurized base block transfer compartment, Dezhurov and Strekalov prepared to move the recently arrived Spektr module by relocating a docking cone from the -Z port to the -Y port.
14 July
03:56 		5 hours
34 minutes 		09:30 Mir EO-19
Kvant-2 		Template:FlagiconAnatoly Solovyev
Template:FlagiconNikolai Budarin 		Used the Strela boom to move to the Spektr module and freed the stuck solar array. Also inspected the -Z docking port and found it to be undamaged.
19 July
00:39 		3 hours
8 minutes 		03:47 Mir EO-19
Kvant-2 		Template:FlagiconAnatoly Solovyev
Template:FlagiconNikolai Budarin 		Solovyev had problems with his Orlan-DMA spacesuit cooling system, and had to stay tethered to an umbilical at Kvant-2. Budarin was able work his way to the far end of Spektr and do some preparations for the installation of the Mir infrared spectrometer (MIRAS). He also collected the American TREK cosmic ray panel that had been installed on Kvant-2 since 1991.
21 July
00:28 		5 hours
50 minutes 		06:18 Mir EO-19
Kvant-2 		Template:FlagiconAnatoly Solovyev
Template:FlagiconNikolai Budarin 		Used the Strela boom to reach the Spektr module, where they completed the installation of MIRAS.
16 September
08:20 		6 hours
46 minutes 		15:06 STS-69
Endeavour 		Template:FlagiconJames S. Voss
Template:FlagiconMichael L. Gernhardt 		Installed thermal instruments on the apparatus in the payload bay. Also tested redesigned spacesuit helmet lights and spacesuit heaters.[7]
20 October
11:50 		5 hours
16 minutes 		17:06 Mir EO-20
Kvant-2 		Template:FlagiconSergei Avdeyev
Template:FlagiconThomas Reiter 		Used the Strela boom to move to the Spektr module and installed several experiments on the European Space Exposure Facility. Reiter became the first ESA cosmonaut and German to complete an EVA.[8]
8 December
19:23 		29 minutes 19:52 Mir EO-20
base block 		Template:FlagiconSergei Avdeyev
Template:FlagiconYuri Gidzenko 		From inside the depressurized base block transfer compartment, Avdeyev and Gidzenko moved the Konus docking cone from the -Z port to the +Z port..[8]
