Two Russian cosmonauts recently completed a successful spacewalk outside the ISS, with a video from the mission capturing a dramatic view of Earth.
Two Russian cosmonauts recently completed a successful spacewalk at the International Space Station .Friday’s extravehicular activity — the eighth at the station this year — came almost three weeks after the pair were forced to cut short another walk when Artemyev’s spacesuit suffered a drop in battery voltage.
This included moving from one operating area to another an external control panel linked to the recently installed European Robotic Arm. The cosmonauts also tested a rigidizing mechanism on the arm that will be used to help with grasping payloads. The spacewalk was livestreamed on NASA’s YouTube channel and included an audio commentary so the audience could fully understand everything the cosmonauts were doing.
The spacewalkers have completed their first objective to remove protective covers on the multipurpose lab module and install a platform with adapters. They are now making their way to the second worksite. pic.twitter.com/JhTcNT81y6 Another clip clearly shows Artemyev and Matveev at work, with the European Robotic Arm also prominent within the frame.
