Soviet cosmonaut Leonov's pioneering first space walk. Footage of the initial part of the first-ever spacewalk, performed on 18 March 1965. Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov (born 1934) exited the Voskhod 2 spacecraft in a spacesuit while orbiting the Earth. 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. | |
