## Deep Space Rendezvous

| Date (GMT) | Spacecraft | Event |
| 7 December | Galileo | First impact of spacecraft to Jupiter - subprobe descent through the Jovian atmosphere |
| 8 December | Galileo | First orbiter of Jupiter - jovian orbit insertion |
| no date | Ulysses | Pass over solar north pole |

## EVAs

| Start Date/Time | Duration | End Time | Spacecraft | Crew | Remarks |
| 9 February 11:56 | 4 hours 39 minutes | 16:35 | STS-63 Discovery | /Michael Foale Bernard A. Harris, Jr. | Conducted a test of moving large mass objects and tested the effectiveness of the new spacesuit temperature control underwear by being lofted outside the payload bay by the RMS. |
| 12 May 04:20 | 6 hours 15 minutes | 10:35 | Mir EO-18 Kvant-2 | Vladimir Dezhurov Gennadi Strekalov | Made preparations for the arrival of the Spektr module. Installed some electrical cable attachments, adjusted solar array actuators, and practiced folding the Kristall solar arrays for the future move to Kvant-1. |
| 17 May 02:38 | 6 hours 42 minutes | 09:20 | Mir EO-18 Kvant-2 | Vladimir Dezhurov Gennadi Strekalov | Moved the solar arrays from Kristall to Kvant-1. Their suits ran low on oxygen before they were able to re-install the arrays on Kvant-1. |
| 22 May 00:10 | 5 hours 15 minutes | 05:25 | Mir EO-18 Kvant-2 | Vladimir Dezhurov Gennadi Strekalov | Completed installation of the relocated solar array on Kvant-1. Also retracted some solar panels to prepare for moving Kristall. |
| 28 May 22:22 | 21 minutes | 22:43 | Mir EO-18 base block | Vladimir Dezhurov Gennadi Strekalov | Conducting a spacewalk inside the transfer compartment of the Mir base block Dezhurov and Strekalov relocated a docking cone from the -X port to the -Z port. |
| 1 June 22:05 | 23 minutes | 22:28 | Mir EO-18 base block | Vladimir Dezhurov Gennadi Strekalov | Again working from the depressurized base block transfer compartment, Dezhurov and Strekalov prepared to move the recently arrived Spektr module by relocating a docking cone from the -Z port to the -Y port. |
| 14 July 03:56 | 5 hours 34 minutes | 09:30 | Mir EO-19 Kvant-2 | Anatoly Solovyev Nikolai Budarin | Used the Strela boom to move to the Spektr module and freed the stuck solar array. Also inspected the -Z docking port and found it to be undamaged. |
| 19 July 00:39 | 3 hours 8 minutes | 03:47 | Mir EO-19 Kvant-2 | Anatoly Solovyev Nikolai Budarin | Solovyev had problems with his Orlan-DMA spacesuit cooling system, and had to stay tethered to an umbilical at Kvant-2. Budarin was able work his way to the far end of Spektr and do some preparations for the installation of the Mir infrared spectrometer (MIRAS). He also collected the American TREK cosmic ray panel that had been installed on Kvant-2 since 1991. |
| 21 July 00:28 | 5 hours 50 minutes | 06:18 | Mir EO-19 Kvant-2 | Anatoly Solovyev Nikolai Budarin | Used the Strela boom to reach the Spektr module, where they completed the installation of MIRAS. |
| 16 September 08:20 | 6 hours 46 minutes | 15:06 | STS-69 Endeavour | James S. Voss Michael L. Gernhardt | Installed thermal instruments on the apparatus in the payload bay. Also tested redesigned spacesuit helmet lights and spacesuit heaters. |
| 20 October 11:50 | 5 hours 16 minutes | 17:06 | Mir EO-20 Kvant-2 | Sergei Avdeyev Thomas Reiter | Used the Strela boom to move to the Spektr module and installed several experiments on the European Space Exposure Facility. Reiter became the first ESA cosmonaut and German to complete an EVA. |
| 8 December 19:23 | 29 minutes | 19:52 | Mir EO-20 base block | Sergei Avdeyev Yuri Gidzenko | From inside the depressurized base block transfer compartment, Avdeyev and Gidzenko moved the Konus docking cone from the -Z port to the +Z port.. |
