ISS Expedition 65 Flight Engineers Oleg Novitskiy and Pytor Dubrov performed an EVA (Extravehicular Activity) at the International Space Station on Thursday, the second in a series of up to 11 spacewalks planned to integrate the new Russian Nauka module onto the ISS.
Novitskiy and Dubrov, in their Russian Orlan-MK spacesuits, opened that station’s Poisk airlock module hatch at 14:51 UTC / 10:51 EDT on September 9, officially beginning the 7 hour 25 minute spacewalk (55 minutes longer than planned) to continue power and ethernet cable connections and installing handrails on Nauka.
