Astronauts: Working in a Vacuum is a 3D virtual gallery on MyGallery3D, a walkable online exhibition of 20 works. Step inside and explore it in your browser: no app, no headset.
Welcome to a 3D virtual gallery you can walk through in your browser, exploring how astronauts work in the vacuum of space.
When Alexei Leonov stepped outside Voskhod 2 in 1965 for the first spacewalk, his suit ballooned so rigidly he could not click his own camera shutter. He got stuck re-entering the airlock and had to bleed pressure from his suit, risking the bends, adding twelve unplanned minutes in vacuum. Every EVA since has been an engineering argument against that emptiness.
ISS032-E-021054 (20 Aug. 2012) --- Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, Expedition 32 flight engineer, participates in a session of extravehicular activity (EVA) to continue outfitting the International Space Station.
During the five-hour, 51-minute spacewalk, Malenchenko and Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, commander, moved the Strela-2 cargo boom from the Pirs docking compartment to the Zarya module to prepare Pirs for its eventual replacement with a new Russian multipurpose laboratory module. The two spacewalking cosmonauts also installed micrometeoroid debris shields on the exterior of the Zvezda service module and deployed a small science satellite.
