Most spacewalks by one person

Anatoly Yakovlevich Solovyev (Russia) has performed 16 spacewalks during his five space flights from 1988 to 1998.

Solovyev’s space flights were all to the Mir Space Station, including one trip when he was delivered to Mir by the space shuttle Atlantis in 1995. Solovyev spent a total of 651 days in space over the course of his five missions. His final mission ended with the landing of Soyuz TM-26 on 19 February 1998.

He retired as a cosmonaut in 1999 as one of the few people who had flown into space under the flags of both the Soviet Union and Russia.
