INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION SPACEWALK LIVE ON NASA TV MONDAY
HOUSTON -- Two Russian cosmonauts on the International Space Station
will conduct a spacewalk Monday, Nov. 15, to prepare the outpost for
future assembly work. The spacewalk will be broadcast live on NASA
Television beginning at 8 a.m. CST, Nov. 15.
During the six-hour spacewalk, Expedition 25 Flight Engineers Fyodor
Yurchikhin and Oleg Skripochka will work outside the Zvezda service
module. They will clean thermal insulation around the vents for the
Elektron oxygen-generation system, install a work platform, replace
material sciences experiments and move a television camera from one
Russian docking module to another.
Wearing Russian Orlan spacesuits, the duo will exit the Pirs docking
compartment airlock at approximately 8:25 a.m. The spacewalk will be
the fifth for Yurchikhin, who will wear a spacesuit marked with red
stripes, and the first for Skripochka, who will wear a suit with blue
stripes.
