Cosmonauts Finish Spacewalk to Ready Station for New Module<\/h2>\n

Expedition 65 Flight Engineers Oleg Novitskiy<\/a> and Pyotr Dubrov<\/a> of the Russian space agency Roscosmos have completed a spacewalk lasting seven hours and 19 minutes.<\/p>\n

The two cosmonauts opened the hatch to the\u00a0Poisk\u00a0docking compartment\u00a0airlock\u00a0to begin the spacewalk at 1:53 a.m. EDT. They re-entered the airlock and closed the hatch at 9:12 a.m.<\/p>\n

During the spacewalk, the\u00a0duo disconnected\u00a0the external mechanical links between Pirs and the space station, relocated spacewalk hardware including a telescoping crane, and reconfigured antennas to prepare the Pirs module for undocking and disposal. Additionally, the cosmonauts replaced a fluid flow regulator panel on the nearby Zarya module, jettisoned the old panel as planned, and replaced biological and material science samples on the exterior of the Russian modules.<\/p>\n

Pirs will be replaced by the new Russian Multipurpose Laboratory Module, named \u201cNauka,\u201d which is Russian for \u201cscience.\u201d The undocking of Pirs is scheduled for this summer, about two days after Nauka launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

This was the first spacewalk<\/a> for both cosmonauts and the 238th spacewalk overall in support of International Space Station<\/a> assembly, maintenance, and upgrades. It also marks the sixth spacewalk of 2021.<\/p>\n
