Russian cosmonauts make spacewalk from International Space Station

Russian Cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner ventured outside the International Space Station for about six hours to install an experiment package designed to monitor celestial x-ray sources and new electrical connector patch panels outside the station’s Poisk module.

They will also remove several experiments for disposal.

Before they finish, they will relocate a control panel for the European robotic arm attached to the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module.
