NASA's Space to Ground: Outside the Hatch | Week of April 26, 2024

NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub of Russia concluded their spacewalk April 25, 2024, at 3:33 p.m. EDT after four hours and 36 minutes.

Kononenko and Chub completed their major objectives, which included completing the deployment of one panel on a synthetic radar communications system on the Russian segment of the complex and installing equipment and experiments to analyze the level of corrosion on station surfaces and modules.

This was the seventh spacewalk in Kononenko’s career, and the second for Chub. It is the 270th spacewalk for space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.
