Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin conduct a six-hour
and 25-minute spacewalk in their Orlan spacesuits to transfer a radiator from
the Rassvet module to the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module for future
installation. The duo is pictured tethered to the Rassvet module with the
Soyuz MS-22 crew ship docked at top.

NASA will provide live coverage beginning at 10:15 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Aug.
9, as two Roscosmos cosmonauts conduct a spacewalk to upgrade the
International Space Station. The spacewalk is expected to begin about 10:45
a.m., and last up to seven hours.
Coverage will air on NASA Television, the NASA app [1], and the agency’s
website [2].
Expedition 69 crewmates Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin will venture
outside the station’s Poisk airlock to attach three debris shields to the
Rassvet module [3]. They also will test the sturdiness of a work platform
that will be affixed to the end of the European robotic arm [4] attached to
the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module.
The spacewalk will be the eighth for Prokopyev, who will wear an Orlan
spacesuit with red stripes, and the sixth for Petelin, who will wear a
spacesuit with blue stripes.
