Two Russian crewmembers on the International
Space Station ventured into open space
Wednesday to conduct scientific research and
help maintain the orbiting outpost.
Oleg Kononenko and Alexey Ovchinin worked
to retrieve scientific experiments intended
to study the impact of space flight that were
mounted on the space station’s exterior. They
also cleaned one of the space station’s windows
and performed other maintenance.
The spacewalk is expected to last 6½ hours. It’s
the fifth one for Kononenko and the first one
for Ovchinin.
