The
STS-111 crew will perform three spacewalks, which are also
known as extravehicular activies, to continue the assembly
of the International Space Station. All three extravehicular
activities, or EVAs, will be based out of the station's Quest
Airlock. Follow the link below for some additional information:

The
first spacewalk of the Space Shuttle program occurred during
STS-6 in April 1983. Astronauts Donald H. Peterson and F.
Story Musgrave used new space suits designed specifically
for the Space Shuttle as they performed various tests in the
payload bay of Shuttle Challenger.
