Two Russian cosmonauts, Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev of Roscosmos, successfully completed a spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS) on May 27, 2026. The spacewalk lasted approximately five hours, according to NASA's live coverage.
During the extravehicular activity (EVA), the cosmonauts performed maintenance tasks on the Russian segment of the ISS, including installing new experiments and inspecting external equipment. The spacewalk began at 10:15 a.m. EDT and concluded at 3:20 p.m. EDT.
This was the first spacewalk for both Kud-Sverchkov and Mikaev. The event was broadcast live on NASA TV and the agency's website, allowing viewers worldwide to watch the cosmonauts work in the vacuum of space.
The ISS continues to host international crews, with this spacewalk contributing to the ongoing maintenance and scientific research aboard the orbiting laboratory.
