Billionaire entrepreneur and mission leader Jared Isaacman was the first to exit the Dragon capsule; after he returned, SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis took a turn in the vacuum of space. They used a special ladder mobility aid dubbed a “skywalker,” which SpaceX added to the Dragon just for this purpose, to assist them outside the capsule. The pair was connected to the spacecraft by umbilical cords and they kept contact with the ladder at all times. The spacewalk was very quick, with each person outside the spacecraft for less than ten minutes. During that time, Isaacman and Gillis performed a series of movements to test the suits’ mobility and performance.
