Expedition 67 Commander Oleg Artemyev and Flight Engineer Denis Matveev, both of Roscosmos, concluded their spacewalk at 5: 12 p.m. EDT (2: 12 p.m. PDT) after 7 hours and 47 minutes.
Artemyev and Matveev finished their significant goals, which were jobs left incomplete throughout the previous spacewalk that happened on August17 These consisted of moving an external control board for the European robotic arm from one operating location to another and checking a rigidizing system on the arm that will be utilized to help with the comprehending of payloads. Additionally, the duo extended a Strela telescoping boom from the Zarya module to the Poisk module.

Additional spacewalks are prepared to continue equipping the European robotic arm and to trigger Nauka’s airlock for future spacewalks. The deal with the European robotic arm will be utilized to move spacewalkers and payloads around the Russian sector of the station.

Artemyev used a Russian spacesuit with red stripes, while Matveev used a Russian match with blue stripes. This was the 8th spacewalk in Artemyev’s profession, and the 4th forMatveev It was the 8th spacewalk at the station in 2022 and the 253 rd spacewalk for spaceport station assembly, upkeep, and upgrades.
