Friday December 27 Russian cosmonauts – 38 expedition members – Oleg Kotov (crew chief) and Flight Engineer Sergei Ryazan implemented planned spacewalk, which lasted for 8 hours and 7 minutes.
During the operation on the outer surface of the ISS in the area of ??large-diameter working compartment Russian service module “Zvezda”, astronauts installed on remote job site, “Anchor.” After performing dismantling removable rotary handrail guys removed monoblock “Splash” with the F-shaped handrail. It should be noted that within the space experiment “Splash” monitored seismic effects bursts of energetic particles in near-Earth space.
After completing all the planned works astronauts installed monoblock on the F-shaped handrails for the implementation of the experiment “Seysmoprognoz” associated with the methods of monitoring and plasma electromagnetic precursors of earthquakes and man-made disasters.
While the Russians were working in open space, American astronaut Rick Mastracchio photographed them inside the space station.
