Duration | Crew & Remarks |
| 22 July 2009 | - UT | 5h 59m | Cassidy and D.Wolf; mission STS-127 Preparing the exposed facility for experiment transfers and replace two out of the six batteries (four were planned) on the port side truss where they are housed to provide power for the truss. |
| 24 July 2009 | - UT | 7h 12m | Cassidy and T.Marshburn; mission STS-127 Replacing the final four batteries on the port truss. |
| 27 July 2009 | - UT | 4h 54m | Cassidy and T.Marsburn; mission STS-127 Removing covers from the Dextre robotic arm, reconfigure cables on a panel for some circuit breakers and deploy two additional payload attachment systems. They also installed a second camera that will provide video of experiments on the aft end of the exposed facility, a work, which was originally scheduled for EVA 4. Finally, they replaced an aging camera system on the starboard truss. Instead some get ahead tasks were completed which included installation of handrails and a portable foot restraint. |
| 11 May 2013 | UT | 5h 30m | Cassidy and T. Marsburn; mission ISS Inspection and replacement of a pump controller box on the station’s far port truss (P6) suspected of leaking ammonia coolant. |
| 09 Jul 2013 | UT | 6h 07m | Cassidy and L. Parmitano; mission ISS The astronauts replaced a space-to-ground communications receiver and wireless video equipment and installed power and cables for a Russian multipurpose laboratory module that will be launched later in 2013. The new module will serve as a research facility, docking port and airlock for future Russian spacewalks and will replace the Pirs module. |
| 16 Jul 2013 | UT | 1h 32m | Cassidy and L. Parmitano; mission ISS The spacewalk was terminated after just one hour due to an unexplained build up of water inside the space suit helmet of European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano. |
| 26 June 2020 | - UT | 6h 07m | C. Cassidy and Behnken; mission "Dragon DM2 / Exp.63". It was the first in a series of spacewalks dedicated to replacing batteries on the far end of the station′s starboard truss. The existing nickel-hydrogen batteries were upgraded with newer, more powerful lithium-ion batteries. |
| 01 July 2020 | - UT | 6h 01m | C. Cassidy and Behnken; mission "Dragon DM2 / Exp.63". The duo continued to replace nickel-hydrogen batteries with more powerful lithium-ion batteries (working site: S6 Channel 1B battery R&R A-F). In addition they routed communication cables. |
| 16 July 2020 | - UT | 6h 00m | C. Cassidy and Behnken; mission "Dragon DM2 / Exp.63". The astronauts continued to replace nickel-hydrogen batteries with more powerful lithium-ion batteries (working site: S6 Channel 3B battery R&R A-F). They removed all six older nickel-hydrogen batteries for the truss′ power system and installed three new lithium-ion batteries. |
| 21 July 2020 | - UT | 5h 29m | C. Cassidy and Behnken; mission "Dragon DM2 / Exp.63". Their first task was to install a protective unit to store tools for use by the Canadian Space Agency′s Dextre robot. The astronaut duo then worked on removing two lifting fixtures, prepared the outside of the Tranquility module for the arrival later this year of the Nanoracks commercial airlock, routed ethernet cables and removed a lens filter cover from an external camera. |
