On January 25, 2020, American astronaut Andrew Morgan and Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano performed the 4^th spacewalk to finish the repairing of the AMS-02 cosmic ray detector. The EVA (extravehicular activity) lasted 6 hours and 16 minutes. This was the 6th spacewalk for Luca Parmitano and the 7th for Andrew Morgan.

On January 20, 2020 American astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir performed the third all-female spacewalk to finish installing a set of new solar array batteries aboard the ISS. The EVA lasted 6 hours and 58 minutes. It was the 6^th spacewalk for Christina Koch and the 3^rd one for Jessica Meir.
