Russian Cosmonauts Sergey & Dmitri on Spacewalk | International Space Station
Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin of Russia concluded their spacewalk outside the International Space Station at 5:19 p.m. EDT on Aug. 9, 2023, after 6 hours and 35 minutes.
Prokopyev and Petelin attached three debris shields to the Rassvet module and tested the sturdiness of a work platform affixed to the end of the European robotic arm attached to the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module.
This was the eighth spacewalk in Prokopyev’s career, and the sixth for Petelin. It was the tenth spacewalk at the station in 2023 and the 267th spacewalk for space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.
