The Answer

Last update 2023.04.29

Astronauts get out of their spacecraft for a variety of reasons, including repairing satellites or spacecraft.

Astronauts can also conduct science experiments on spacewalks and on the spacecraft's exterior, allowing scientists to learn how being in space affects various things.

Spacewalks also allow astronauts to test and repair new equipment rather than returning it to Earth.
