Russian cosmonauts conduct spacewalk outside International Space Station
Two Russian cosmonauts performed a spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS).
The Russian cosmonaut completed the first test flight at the end of a robotic arm as part of a successful spacewalk at the International Space Station.
Expedition 69 commander Sergey Prokopyev rode at the end of the European Robotic Arm (ERA) during a six-hour 35-minute spacewalk to test the durability and sturdiness of a portable workstation.
The arm was added to the ICC with the Nauka multi-purpose science module in July 2021.
Cosmonaut installed three micrometeoroid debris shields and relocated a work platform.
After the debris shields were in place, a portable work station was attached to the end of the European Robotic Arm. Prokopyev then climbed aboard to test the arm’s stability while Andrey Fedyaev operated the robotic appendage from a control panel inside Nauka. There were no apparent problems.
The ERA has been used to relocate a large radiator and an experiment airlock, but this was the first time that it was used with a human aboard.
It was the sixth excursion for Petelin and the eighth for Prokopyev, moving him up to eleventh on the list of most experienced spacewalkers. Total ISS spacewalk time across 267 outings now stands at 70 days 16 hours and 26 minutes.
