First space walk. Computer illustration depicting Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov (born 1934),outside the Voskhod 2 spacecraft in a spacesuit on 18th March 1965,while orbiting the Earth (in the background). This was the world's first extravehicular activity (EVA),or space walk. Voskhod 2 had launched earlier that day,and Leonov exited the spacecraft at 08:30 UTC. He remained outside for 10 minutes,before trying to re-enter. Because his suit had ballooned while outside,he had to let some of his air out before he could successfully re-enter | |
