Spacewalks are when astronauts leave their spacecraft to work outside in space.

During a spacewalk, astronauts wear special suits called spacesuits.

These suits are designed to keep astronauts safe and allow them to breathe because there is no air in space.

They also protect astronauts from extreme temperatures and small particles that might float by, like tiny bits of dust or ice.

When astronauts plan to go on a spacewalk, they first put on their spacesuit.

The suit is filled with air so they can breathe.

It has several layers to keep them warm and safe.

The outside layer is tough and helps shield them from dangerous things in space.

The suit also includes a helmet with a face shield, allowing astronauts to see clearly while protecting their face.

Astronauts use tools that are attached to their suits to help them with their tasks.

For movement, they use special boots that help them float around in space.

It is important for astronauts to control their speed to avoid drifting away too far from the spacecraft.

They often practice using these mini-rocket boots to learn how to move just right.

To stay close to the spacecraft, astronauts use a tether, which is a strong rope that connects them to the ship.

The tether keeps astronauts secure and prevents them from floating away into space.

Safety is always a top priority during spacewalks.

When astronauts finish their work outside, they come back to the spacecraft.

They grab onto handles and gently push themselves back inside.

Spacewalks are important missions that help astronauts repair equipment and conduct experiments in space.

Did you know?

The first spacewalk happened in 1965, and it was called an EVA, which stands for Extravehicular Activity.

Also, astronauts can see the Earth from spacewalks and it looks very different from how we see it from the ground!
