Most accumulated time on spacewalks by a male

Cosmonaut Anatoly Yakovlevich Solovyev (USSR/Russia) accrued a total of 82 hours 22 minutes in open space during his five space expeditions between 1988 and 1998.

Solovyev also holds the record for most spacewalks by any person: 16.

Solovyev’s space flights were all to the Mir Space Station, including one trip when he was delivered to Mir by the Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1995. Solovyev spent a total of 651 days in space over the course of his five missions. His final mission ended with the landing of Soyuz TM-26 on 19 February 1998.

He retired as a cosmonaut in 1999 as one of the few people who had flown into space under the flags of both the Soviet Union and Russia.
