Russian and European Spacewalkers Wrap Up Robotic Arm Excursion at Space Station, The Artemyev and Cristoforetti completed all but one of their major objectives during the spacewalk.
Completed tasks include the deployment of 10 nanosatellites designed to collect radio electronics data during the spacewalk and installing platforms and workstation adapter hardware near the 37-foot-long manipulator system mounted to Nauka. The pair of spacewalkers also relocated the arm’s external control panel and replaced a protective window on the arm’s camera unit.
The final planned activity, to extend a Strela telescoping boom from Zarya to Poisk, was not completed. This task will be completed on a future spacewalk. Additional spacewalks are planned to continue equipping the European robotic arm and to activate Nauka’s airlock for future spacewalks. The work done on the European robotic arm will be used to move spacewalkers and payloads around the Russian segment of the station.
