Start Date/Time	Duration	End Time	Spacecraft	Crew	Function	Remarks
3 February 09:55	5 hours 43 minutes	16:27	Expedition 12 ISS Pirs	William S. McArthur Valery Tokarev	Released SuitSat-1, retrieved the Biorisk experiment, photographed a sensor for a micrometeoroid experiment, and tied off the surviving umbilical of the Mobile Transporter.
1 June 23:48	6 hours 31 minutes	2 June 06:19	Expedition 13 ISS Pirs	Pavel Vinogradov Jeffrey Williams	Repaired a vent for the Elektron unit, retrieved a Biorisk experiment, retrieved a contamination-monitoring device from Zvezda, and replaced a malfunctioning camera on the Mobile Base System.
8 July 13:17	7 hours 31 minutes	20:48	STS-121 ISS Quest	/Piers Sellers Michael E. Fossum	Installed a blade blocker in the zenith Interface Umbilical Assembly (IUA) to protect the undamaged power, data and video cable, rerouted the cable to prepare for the second EVA. Tested the combination of the SSRMS and the Orbiter Boom Sensor System as a platform for astronauts to make repairs to a damaged orbiter.
10 July 12:14	6 hours 47 minutes	19:01	STS-121 ISS Quest	/Piers Sellers Michael E. Fossum	Restored the Mobile Transporter to full operation, and delivered a spare pump module for the station’s cooling system.
12 July 07:11	6 hours 20 minutes	13:31	STS-121 ISS Quest	/Piers Sellers Michael E. Fossum	Used an infrared camera to shoot 20 seconds of video of selected reinforced carbon-carbon (RCC) panels on the shuttle wing’s leading edge, and then moved to the payload bay to test a shuttle tile repair material known as NOAX on pre-damaged shuttle tiles that were flown in a test container.
3 August 14:04	5 hours 54 minutes	19:58	Expedition 13 ISS Quest	Jeffrey Williams Thomas Reiter	Installed the Floating Potential Measurement Unit, two MISSE containers, a controller for a thermal radiator rotary joint on the S1 truss, a starboard jumper and spool positioning device on S1, a light on the truss railway handcart, and installed and replaced a malfunctioning GPS antenna. Tested an infrared camera designed to detect damage in a shuttle's thermal protection tiles. Inspection and photography of a scratch on the Quest airlock hatch.
12 September 10:17	5 hours 26 minutes	15:43	STS-115 ISS Quest	Joseph R. Tanner Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper	Initial installation of the P3/P4 truss. Connected power cables on the truss, released the launch restraints on the solar array blanket box, the Beta Gimbal Assembly, and the solar array wings. Configured the Solar Alpha Rotary Joint, and removed two circuit interrupt devices to prepare for STS-116.	Piper became the 7th American and the 8th female spacewalker.
13 September 09:05	7 hours 11 minutes	16:16	STS-115 ISS Quest	Daniel C. Burbank Steven MacLean	Continued installation of the P3/4 truss onto the station, and activated the SARJ.
15 September 10:00	6 hours 42 minutes	16:42	STS-115 ISS Quest	Joseph R. Tanner Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper	Installed a radiator onto the P3/4 truss, powered up a cooling radiator for the new solar arrays, replaced an S-Band radio antenna, and installed insulation for another antenna. Tanner took photos of the shuttle's wings using an infrared camera.
22 November 23:17	5 hours 38 minutes	23 November 04:55	Expedition 14 ISS Pirs	Mikhail Tyurin Michael Lopez-Alegria	"Orbiting golf shot" event sponsored by a Canadian golf company. Lopez-Alegria put the tee on the ladder outside Pirs, while Tyurin set up a camera, and then performed the golf shot. Inspected and photographed a Kurs antenna, relocated an ATV WAL antenna, installed a BTN neutron experiment, and jettisoned two thermal covers from the BTN.
12 December 20:31	6 hours 36 minutes	13 December 03:07	STS-116 ISS Quest	Robert Curbeam Christer Fuglesang	Installed the P5 Truss, and replaced a video camera on the S1 truss.
14 December 19:41	5 hours	15 December 00:41	STS-116 ISS Quest	Robert Curbeam Christer Fuglesang	Reconfigured channels 2–3 on the P3/P4 truss to take advantage of the new solar arrays, relocated two handcarts that run along the station's main truss, put a thermal cover on the station's robotic arm, and installed bags of tools for future spacewalkers.
16 December 19:25	7 hours 31 minutes	17 December 02:57	STS-116 ISS Quest	Robert Curbeam Sunita Williams	Reconfigured channels 1 and 4 on the P3/P4 truss to take advantage of the new solar arrays, installed a robotic arm grapple fixture, and positioned three bundles ofdebris shield panels outside Zvezda. Additional time was spent trying to help retract the P6 solar array panel by shaking the panel's blanket box from its base.	Williams became the 8th American and the 9th female spacewalker.
18 December 19:00	6 hours 38 minutes	19 December 01:38	STS-116 ISS Quest	Robert Curbeam Christer Fuglesang	Assisted ground controllers with retracting the P6 solar array panels.
