On 23 May 2017 at 10:06 EDT (14:06 GMT), Expedition 50/51/52's astronaut Peggy Whitson (USA, b. 9 February 1960) completed the 10th spacewalk of her career – a record for a female astronaut. The extravehicular activity (EVA) from the International Space Station – to repair a faulty relay box – lasted for 2 hours 46 minutes. On completion, it gave Whitson a record-breaking cumulative spacewalk time of 60 hours 21 minutes.


Overall, it is the third longest time accumulated on spacewalks for any astronaut, with Whitson only behind Anatoly Solovyev (Russia) on 82 hours 22 minutes and Michael Lopez-Alegria (USA) on 67 hours 40 minutes.
