The two Russian cosmonauts Sergei Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin have successfully completed a six-hour spacewalk.
During the excursion to the International Space Station, they connected new data transmission equipment to the Russian part of the station, according to a live stream from the Russian space agency Roscosmos on Thursday.
During the mission, they also dismantled research equipment attached to the outer skin of the ISS and returned it to the station.
According to Roskosmos, Sergei Prokopyev worked for the seventh time in open space outside the ISS. This was Petelin’s fifth spacewalk.
The two cosmonauts arrived at the ISS in a Russian Soyuz capsule on September 21, 2022, along with NASA astronaut Frank Rubio. They are scheduled to return to Earth in the fall, after damage to this capsule extends their mission. (sda/dpa)
