Four Expedition 67<\/a> crew members slept in on Friday following a spacewalk the day before at the International Space Station<\/a>. The other three orbital residents wrapped up the workweek researching a variety of space phenomena, unpacking a U.S. cargo ship, and maintaining orbital lab systems.<\/p>\n Commander and six-time spacewalker Oleg Artemyev<\/a> of Roscosmos led ESA (European Space Agency) Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti<\/a> on her first spacewalk on Thursday. The duo set up the European robotic arm for operations on the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module<\/a> during a spacewalk that lasted seven hours and five minutes<\/a>. Ten nanosatellites were also deployed into Earth orbit for a radio technology experiment at the beginning of the excursion.<\/p>\n Artemyev and Cristoforetti woke up late on Friday and spent the rest of the day cleaning their Russian Orlan spacesuits and inspecting spacewalk tools and tethers. Cosmonauts Denis Matveev<\/a> and Sergey Korsakov<\/a> also slept in on Friday having monitored the spacewalkers and assisted the duo in and out of their spacesuits the day before. The pair also helped out with the post-spacewalk activities returning the Poisk<\/a> airlock to its normal configuration and re-opening the hatch to the ISS Progress 80<\/a> cargo craft.<\/p>\n The station\u2019s three NASA Flight Engineers including Bob Hines<\/a>, Jessica Watkins<\/a>, and Kjell Lindgren<\/a>, worked a normal shift on Friday and wrapped up their workweek focusing on an array of science and maintenance operations.<\/p>\n Hines swapped fiber optic samples for a space manufacturing study<\/a>, photographed samples for a cell-free protein production experiment<\/a>, then activated the Astrobee<\/a> robotic free-flyers ahead of a student robotics competition. Watkins continued unpacking cargo from inside the SpaceX Dragon resupply ship<\/a> before stowing hardware for a water recycling experiment<\/a>. Lindgren worked on payload cable connections then moved on to orbital plumbing tasks inside the station\u2019s bathroom, also known as the Waste and Hygiene Compartment.<\/p>\n Learn more about station activities by following the space station blog<\/a>, @space_station<\/a> and @ISS_Research<\/a> on Twitter, as well as the ISS Facebook<\/a> and ISS Instagram<\/a> accounts.<\/p>\n Get weekly video highlights at: http:\/\/jscfeatures.jsc.nasa.gov\/videoupdate\/<\/a><\/p>\n Get the latest from NASA delivered every week.
