Spacewalks

Spacewalks, also known as extravehicular activities (EVAs), refer to the act of astronauts leaving the confines of their spacecraft to perform tasks in the vacuum of space. This activity typically involves working outside a space station or shuttle and can include a variety of tasks such as repairing equipment, conducting experiments, or testing new technology. Spacewalks are essential for maintaining and upgrading space structures, and they require specialized training and equipment, including spacesuits that provide life support, temperature control, and protection from micrometeoroids and radiation. The terms of a spacewalk are carefully planned and executed, often involving complex procedures to ensure the safety of the astronauts.
