<\/a>Expedition 67 Commander Oleg Artemyev of Roscosmos and Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti of ESA (European Space Agency) concluded their spacewalk at\u202f5:55 p.m. EDT after 7 hours and 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
Artemyev and Cristoforetti completed all but one of their major objectives, which included the deployment of 10 nanosatellites designed to collect radio electronics data during the spacewalk and installing platforms and workstation adapter hardware near the 37-foot-long manipulator system mounted to Nauka. The spacewalkers also relocated the arm\u2019s external control panel and replaced a protective window on the arm\u2019s camera unit. The last planned activity, to extend a Strela telescoping boom from Zarya to Poisk, will be completed on a future spacewalk.<\/p>\n
Additional spacewalks are planned to continue outfitting the European robotic arm and to activate Nauka\u2019s airlock for future spacewalks.<\/p>\n
The work on the European robotic arm will be used to move spacewalkers and payloads around the Russian segment of the station.<\/p>\n
This was the sixth spacewalk in Artemyev\u2019s career, and the first for Cristoforetti. It was the sixth spacewalk at the station in 2022 and the 251st\u202fspacewalk\u202ffor space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.<\/p>\n
