21 Dec 2013 UT 5h 28m Hopkins and R. Mastracchio; mission ISS
The EVA mainly focused on disconnecting the failed loop A pump module from its location on the Starboard 1 (S1) Truss - including the infamously difficult ammonia disconnections.
25 Dec 2013 UT 7h 30m Hopkins and R. Mastracchio; mission ISS
They removed a spare pump module from the ESP-3 and installed it on the Starboard 1 (S1) Truss.
27 Jan 2021 UT 6h 56m Hopkins and V. Glover; mission ISS-64
This spacewalk focused on completing cable and antenna rigging for the "Bartolomeo" science payloads platform outside the ESA (European Space Agency) Columbus module. The duo also configured a Ka-band terminal, known as COL-Ka, that will enable an independent, high-bandwidth communication link to European ground stations. Bartolomeo is partially operational and in a safe configuration following the connection of four of six cables to the science platform, and the final two cables that could not be connected will be attended to on a future spacewalk. After completing the upgrades on the Columbus module, the astronauts removed a grapple fixture bracket on the far port (left) truss in preparation for future power system upgrades. Victor Glover also worked to replace a suspected broken pin inside the station's airlock as a "get ahead" task, but teams determined that a replacement pin was not needed after an inspection confirmed the current pin to be functioning properly.
01 Feb 2021 UT 5h 20m Hopkins and V. Glover; mission ISS-64
This spacewalk addressed a variety of tasks, including installation of a final lithium-ion battery adapter plate on the port 4 (P4) truss that wrapped up battery replacement work begun in January 2017. They replaced an external camera on the starboard truss, installed a new high-definition camera on the Destiny laboratory, and replaced components for the Japanese robotic arm′s camera system outside the Kibo module.
13 Mar 2021 UT 6h 47m Hopkins and V. Glover; mission ISS-64
They vent and relocated ammonia jumper cables, installed a structural "stiffener" on the airlock thermal cover, and completed the connection of payload cables on the new Bartolomeo platform on the Columbus module. Other tasks included the replacement of a wireless communications antenna on the Unity module.
