Russian Cosmonaut Spacewalk: Walkthrough Animation | International Space Station

[No Audio]: NASA coverage is underway for today’s spacewalk with Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner of Russia. The duo are venturing outside the station’s Poisk airlock to install an experiment package designed to monitor celestial x-ray sources and new electrical connector patch panels, remove several experiments for disposal,  and relocate a control panel for the European Robotic Arm that is attached to the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module. Additionally, the two cosmonauts will relocate a control panel for the European robotic arm, which is attached to the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module. Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexsandr Gorbunov will operate the arm during the spacewalk from inside the station.

The spacewalk is scheduled to last about six hours and 45 minutes. Roscosmos spacewalk 63 will be the second for Ovchinin and the first for Vagner. Ovchinin will wear an Orlan spacesuit with red stripes, and Vagner will wear a spacesuit with blue stripes. It will be the 272nd spacewalk in support of space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.
