Talk:List of International Space Station spacewalks/Archive 1

"based from" column
Can someone add a column "based from" to the table - there are multiple types of ISS spacewalks:
 * Shuttle based
 * Quest based
 * Pirs based

Also, spacewalks can be divided into other groups:
 * such executed when there is a Shuttle docked to the station or when there is not.
 * with people in the ISS, with empty ISS (all crewmembers are outside on EVA) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.204.151.1 (talk • contribs) 05:48, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Legend in the table now shows where it originated from and which suits were worn. If no special character, it means it was Quest. See legend at the top for details. Ariel  ♥  Gold  00:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Number of spacewalks
On Space.com's report of the January 31 2007 spacewalk it says it is the 78th spacewalk, and it is only 77th on this list. Does anyone now if they are wrong or is there a spacewalk missing here?

And, NASA's page about theese EVA-s list then as EVA's 6, 7 and 8. Obviously they count them from the beggining of Expedition 14 including the four September STS spacewalks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xdado (talk • contribs)

Answers to the above two questions/comments
There were many EVAs missing from this list. I've fully updated this list to reflect all ISS spacewalks, including the most recent on Saturday August 11th.

The list on NASA is out of date, and there are actually two lists NASA uses, so there is some (about 30 minutes tops) discrepancy with times, but as of today, per NASA public affairs:


 * 89 Total EVAs in assembly of the station.
 * 61 of these were ISS-based EVAs.
 * 28 of these were Shuttle-based EVAs.

These include those performed prior to crews aboard the station, but again that's irrelevant to the list, so I doubt it would have a special column added for it. It would be a pretty short list.

As for when shuttles are docked, and when not, that's easy, anything that says done by an Expedition was done when a shuttle was not there. That's the point of breaking it down that way. And likewise, any "STS" EVA was performed when a shuttle was at the station.

The total time spent in EVA-assembly is 551 hours, 01 minute.

I added a small section titled "Assembly" at the top to reflect these current numbers, and it can be updated as needed. Plus, it provides readers a quick "summary" of the massive amount of work that went into the station.

As far as adding columns to differentiate Piers/Quest, doubtful. Some are noted in the final column, but it isn't relevant, regardless of where the EVA originates from, the tasks get done just the same. Ariel ♥ Gold 05:48, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks so much better now! Great job!  Jmlk  1  7  06:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Needs many more references
As it stands this list is very under-referenced. Where have all of the numbers come from within the tables? As an indication of what the referencing should be like in this article, see List of molecules in interstellar space... Mike Peel (talk) 19:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * All references needed should be here: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/osf/iss_reports/archive_reports.htm (almost) day-to-day archives of all on-orbit activities. I'm busy on something else atm. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the refimprove tag, only information that is challenged as being unverifiable needs sourcing for each item, and clearly, something like an EVA for ISS construction is not something that would be challenged as false.

Featured List
Evidently this was de-listed as a Featured List, but nobody posted it here. To that end, the discussion can be found here, and I'm going to be working on this list extensively to get it back up to FL standards. Ariel ♥  Gold  22:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And the list is back as a Featured List! The format has changed, as well as requirements for additions, if you are not sure how to do the table coding, feel free to post here~!~ Ariel  ♥  Gold  00:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
