Two cosmonauts conducted a 6 1/2-hour spacewalk outside the International Space Station to install and reposition equipment.
Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Skripochka were unable to complete one of the tasks, the relocation of a camera from one side of the Rassvet module to another. The camera would not sit properly on its new mounting, Yurchikhin said in video broadcast from Russian mission control outside Moscow.
The cosmonauts did install a workstation on the space lab’s Zvezda service module for use by Russian and European space flyers and took samples of insulation from the space station’s exterior to test them for any sign of bio-
organisms.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
