Astronauts on spacewalks capture stunning selfies taken from space

Victor Glover, part of Expedition 64, snapped a “space-selfie” during a spacewalk to upgrade the ISS’s cooling system and communications gear. With his helmet visor down, Glover worked alongside Michael Hopkins (not in frame). (NASA photo)

Expedition 63 Commander Chris Cassidy snapped a “space-selfie” during his fourth spacewalk in 2020. With 10 spacewalks under his belt, Cassidy has spent a total of 54 hours and 51 minutes working outside the ISS. (NASA photo)

Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques participated in a six-and-a-half-hour spacewalk with NASA’s Anne McClain (not pictured).

The pair established a redundant power path for the Canadian-built robotic arm, Canadarm2, and installed cables to improve wireless communications and computer networks outside the ISS. (NASA photo)

NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan is seen with his camera during a vital spacewalk to repair the Alpha magnetic spectrometer, a cosmic particle detector.

Working with Luca Parmitano (not shown), Morgan ensured the equipment’s functionality, with his shielded camera standing up to space’s extreme conditions. (NASA photo)
