Both cosmonauts, consisting ofFlightEngineerKonstantinBorisov, had a light-duty day at the end of the week. The trio invested Friday early morning cleansing ventilation systems throughout the station’s Roscosmos sector and after that unwinded throughout the afternoon. Borisov will help his cosmonaut colleagues on Sunday in photographing the docking activities and deconfiguring docking equipment after the car’s arrival.
