Two Russian cosmonauts put on their Orlan spacesuits and headed outside the International Space Station Monday for a spacewalk to begin outfitting a European robotic arm mounted on a Russian science module launched last year, a collaboration that’s been unaffected by souring international relations on Earth.

Cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Denis Matveev opened the hatch to the Poisk airlock module at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT) Monday.

The spacewalk was the third in Artemyev’s cosmonaut career, and the first for Matveev. Artemyev, Matveev, and crewmate Sergey Korsakov arrived at the space station last month on a Soyuz spacecraft.

Up to seven spacewalks are planned for their six-month expedition, including work to activate and check out the European Robotic Arm. The arm is a 37-foot-long (11.3-meter) crane-like structure to assist with the movement of external payloads and help astronauts with spacewalks. (...)

The European Robotic Arm can walk across the Russian segment of the space station. ESA says it’s capable of carrying a load of more than 17,000 pounds, or 8 metric tons, with a precision of one-fifth of an inch (5 millimeters).

Two Russian cosmonauts unlocked the European Robotic Arm from its launch moorings on a spacewalk Thursday, allowing the manipulator to move around outside the International Space Station for the first time.

Wearing Russian Orlan space suits, the cosmonauts opened the hatch to the Poisk airlock at 10:58 a.m. EDT (1458 GMT), marking the official start of the spacewalk. (...)

Artemyev and Matveev also briefly unfurled a flag commemorating Russia’s Victory Day celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.

The spacewalkers ran out of time before the day’s final planned movement of the robotic arm, which would have maneuvered one of the arm’s hands to a third base point — a so-called “double walkoff.”

The cosmonauts returned to the airlock and closed the hatch at 6:40 p.m. EDT (2240 GMT), wrapping up a 7-hour, 52-minute spacewalk. (...)

The excursion Thursday was the 250th spacewalk since 1998 in support of space station assembly and maintenance. (...)

WASHINGTON — NASA is continuing to investigate water that leaked into a spacesuit helmet during a spacewalk earlier this year and is holding off on future spacewalks until engineers can resolve the problem.

The leak took place during the most recent spacewalk from the U.S. segment of the station March 23, involving NASA astronaut Raja Chari and European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer. At the end of the nearly seven-hour spacewalk, Maurer reported that water had pooled on his visor, although the thin layer of water, about 20 to 25 centimeters across, did not pose an immediate threat to him.

Spacewalk terminated due to spacesuit water leak
January 15, 2016 William Harwood STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS & USED WITH PERMISSION


Astronaut Tim Peake is seen outside the International Space Station during Friday’s spacewalk.

Flight controllers ordered two astronauts to terminate a spacewalk outside the International Space Station Friday after one of them reported a small amount of water leaking into his space helmet. While not nearly as dangerous as a 2013 helmet leak that threatened to drown an Italian spacewalker, flight controllers took no chances, ordering both men back to the station’s airlock.

Two space station astronauts carried out a trouble-free five-hour 58-minute spacewalk Friday, completing complex battery replacement work on the right side of the lab’s solar power truss with enough time left over to carry out a variety of lower-priority “get-ahead” tasks.

The International Space Station relies on four huge sets of solar arrays that rotate to track the sun. Each set is equipped with 12 nickel-hydrogen batteries that store power for use when the station is in Earth’s shadow. All 48 NiH2 batteries will be replaced over the next few years with 24 smaller but more powerful lithium-ion batteries.

Cosmonauts conduct spacewalk

On April 25, 2024, members of Expedition 71 Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub performed the VKD-62 spacewalk from the Russian Segment of the International Space Station, ISS.



The VKD-62 spacewalk, staged from the Poisk module, MIM2, was originally expected to last more than 6.5 hours with the main goal of completing the deployment of the Rakurs synthetic remote-sensing radar for the Napor-miniRSA experiment on the exterior of the Nauka module, MLM. The four-section radar panel was installed during the VKD-61 spacewalk in October 2023, but one of its sections failed to lock in opened position.

‘Arctic Blast’ of Leaky Water Halts Spacewalk by NASA Astronauts
By Kenneth Chang June 24, 2024

It was the second scheduled spacewalk by NASA astronauts aboard the space station that faced an interruption this month.

Spacewalk Canceled After Spacesuit Coolant Leak
NASA canceled a spacewalk at the International Space Station Monday following a water leak, which started shortly after Tracy Dyson started to use the internal battery power of her spacesuit.
“Oh wow.” “Flowing out of my — S.C.U. guys. “Yeah, there’s a lot of particulates flowing around here.” “Yes we — we turned them off with the U.I.A.” “And you can reconnect your S.C.U. to your D.C.M. and we’ll take a look at that.” “It’s a lot of water flowing.” “Is it still coming out? “If —” “I don’t, I don’t think we can do it.” “Yeah — there’s water everywhere here.” “OK, let’s get your S.C.U. reconnected to your D.C.M.” “Yeah, there’s literally water everywhere here now.” “You’ve heard quite a bit of communication between the crew and the team here in Mission Control, Houston. The spacewalk for today has been canceled due to a spacesuit cooling unit water leak that began right after the suits were put on internal battery power. The crew is now moving back into the airlock, and closing that E.V. hatch and they will begin the repressurization process. After opening the hatch between the equipment lock and the crew lock, NASA astronaut Matt Dominick went into the crew lock portion where NASA astronauts Tracy Dyson and Mike Barratt are just to inspect the crew lock for any water particles. Matt Dominick and Jeanette Epps, currently on your screen, will now work to move Tracy Dyson and Mike Barratt back into the equipment lock.”

A spacewalk by two NASA astronauts at the International Space Station ended almost as soon as it began on Monday morning when water started squirting from one of the spacesuits into the airlock.

“There’s water everywhere,” Tracy Dyson, one of the astronauts, reported to mission control.

That was a couple of minutes after she and Mike Barratt, the other astronaut taking part in the spacewalk, had switched their spacesuits to battery power, which marked the start of the spacewalk at 8:46 a.m. Eastern time.

“I got an arctic blast all over my visor,” Ms. Dyson reported.

She wiped away a layer of ice, allowing her to see that ice crystals were coming from a service-and-cooling umbilical unit that connected to her spacesuit. The connections provide power, oxygen and water while astronauts are in the airlock. The leak started when Ms. Dyson disconnected the unit.

“I could see the ice crystals flowing out there,” Ms. Dyson said. “Just like a snow cone machine, there was ice forming at that port.”

Space station controllers in Houston then called off the spacewalk. NASA said the astronauts were never in any danger.

The shortened spacewalk was the latest in a series of glitches that NASA has experienced this month. Other issues have included an earlier postponed spacewalk and delays in returning a pair of astronauts to Earth aboard a Boeing space capsule, known as Starliner, which is on its first trip to the space station with astronauts aboard.

12:45 PM · Jun 24, 2024
US EVA-90: Astronauts Tracy Dyson and Mike Barratt are suited up in the space station's Quest airlock, preparing to float outside on a spacewalk to retrieve an S-band radio component that's defied two earlier attempt to unbolt it from an external stowage platform; EVA-90 was expected to begin around 8am EDT (1200 UTC), but preps are running about a half hour behind schedule

US EVA-90: This will be the 271st spacewalk in ISS history, the 2nd so far this year, the 4th for Dyson, who logged 22 hours 49 minutes outside the ISS during 3 EVAs in 2010, and the 3rd for Barratt. He joined a Russian cosmonaut for a 4-hour 54-minute spacewalk in 2009 followed by a short 12-minute EVA inside the Russian segment of the space station to replace a hatch with a docking cone.

US EVA-90: Dyson and astronaut Matthew Dominick originally planned to carry out this spacewalk, EVA-90, on June 13, but the excursion was called off after Dominick reported a "discomfort issue" with his spacesuit. No details were provided. Dyson and Barratt were already penciled in for a follow-on spacewalk, and NASA managers decided to keep that same lineup for today's do-over

US EVA-90: Today's excursion has the same 3 objectives: to retrieve the radio frequency group hardware so it can be returned to Earth, repaired and relaunched; to swab targeted ares of the station's hull near vents and the Quest airlock's hatch to find out if any microorganisms have managed to get outside and survive in the harsh environment of space; and to make initial preparations for eventually installing a spare joint in the lab's robot arm

US EVA-90: Dyson and Barratt are now in the outer section of the Quest airlock module; the inner hatch was closed at ~8am EDT (1200 UTC), clearing the way for a 30-minute depressurization sequence; the spacewalk will officially begin when the crew switches their spacesuits to battery power


US EVA-90: With the Quest airlock down to vacuum and the outer hatch open, Dyson and Barratt switched their spacesuits to battery power ~845am EDT (1245 UTC) but a moment later, Dyson reported "water everywhere," apparently coming from an airlock fitting; the astronauts have reconnected their suits to station power; not yet clear what the problem is but today's spacewalk has been called off

US EVA-90: NASA's spacewalk commentator in mission control at the Johnson Space Center: "The spacewalk for today has been cancelled due to a spacesuit cooling unit water loop leak that began right after the suits were put on internal battery power. The crew is now moving back into the (inner) airlock and closing that EV hatch. Then they will begin the repressurization process"

US EVA-90: Dyson and Barratt are still in the outer section of the Quest airlock; the outer hatch has been closed and both astronauts are now re-connected to space station power, air and water; that stopped the water leakage from Dyson's suit; the crew does not appear to be in any danger; engineers are troubleshooting; Dyson tells mission control "it's a little snowy in here, but not as bad as it was. ... I have ice on my gloves still and on my helmet a little bit"

3:17 PM · Jun 24, 2024
US EVA-90: As it turns out, Dyson is going to stay on spacesuit battery power; she said the water leak sprayed the connectors where the umbilical attaches and she expressed concern about plugging in station power; flight controllers said they didn't think there would be any problem, but agreed she could just stay on battery power; the crew is pressing ahead with airlock repressurization

US EVA-90: Dyson and Barratt are back inside the inner compartment of the Quest module; astronauts Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps are helping them out of their spacesuits while Starliner commander Butch Wilmore takes pictures of suit components as they are taken off

US EVA-90: NASA says today's spacewalk lasted 31 minutes; that's the time between the switch to battery power and the moment the crew reconnected to station power; Barratt still holds the record for the shortest EVA, 12 minutes in vacuum inside the Russian segment of the station in 2009 when he and Gennady Padalka installed a docking cone in place of a hatch

RS EVA 63: ISS cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner opened the side hatch of the Poisk airlock compartment at 10:36am EST, officially kicking off a planned 6.5-hour spacewalk. This is the 3rd ISS excursion this year and the 2nd by Russian cosmonauts.
https://app.bsky.cz/profile/rocketksc.bsky.social/post/3ldo7rih5qc2s

RS EVA 63: For ID, Ovchinin, call sign EV-1, is wearing a Russian Orlan spacesuit with red stripes; Vagner, EV-2, is wearing a suit with blue stripes. This is the 2nd spacewalk for Ovchinin and the 1st for Vagner, who is the 269th person to walk in space (he can be seen in screengrab below)


RS EVA 63: The goals of today's EVA are to install an all-sky X-ray instrument, to retrieve a variety of space exposure experiments, to relocate an external control panel allowing spacewalkers to operate a European-built robot arm and to jettison no-longer needed equipment.

RS EVA 63 (00:27 ET; 11:03am EST; 1603 UTC): Ovchinin and Vagner are outside Poisk, gathering tools and checking tethers before getting to work; in the meantime... spectacular views!



RS EVA 63 (01:32 ET; 12:08pm EST; 1708 UTC): Ovchinin and Vagner are installing an all-sky X-ray monitor on the aft Zvezda module; once this work is done, the cosmonauts will press ahead with removal of a variety of materials science and biological space exposure experiments

RS EVA 63 (01:52 ET; 12:28pm EST; 1728 UTC): Before removing the space exposure experiments, the cosmonauts are disconnecting a no-longer-needed electrical patch panel that will be jettisoned later in the spacewalk

Russian EVA 63 (03:00 ET; 1:36pm EST; 1836 UTC): After removing older electrical patch panels on the Zvezda module, Ovchinin and Vagner are wrapping up work to attach cables to newly installed panels; retrieval of the space exposure experiments is expected shortly

Russian EVA 63 (05:36 ET; 4:12pm EST; 2112 UTC): Ovchinin has climbed on the end of the European robot arm so crewmate Alexander Gorbunov, operating the arm inside the ISS, can move him into place to jettison no-longer-needed items removed from the Russian segment of the lab earlier today.

Russian EVA 63 (05:36 ET; 4:12pm EST; 2112 UTC): Ovchinin is the first cosmonaut to "ride" the arm since the appendage was launched in 2021. Ovchinin and fellow spacewalker Ivan Vagner originally planned to relocate an external control panel for the arm, but that task was deferred to a later EVA.

RS EVA 63 (05:40 ET; 04:16pm EST; 2116 UTC): Spectacular shots of Ovchinin on the end of the European arm and a look through the cosmonaut's helmet camera:



RS EVA 63 (06:17 ET; 04:53pm EST; 2153 UTC): Ovchinin jettisoned the bundle of no-longer-needed equipment with no issues; that was the final major task for today's spacewalk; the cosmonauts will now gather up tools and tethers and make their way back to the Poisk airlock compartment



Russian EVA 63: Cosmonauts Aleksey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner closed the hatch of the Poisk airlock compartment at 5:53pm EST (2253 UTC), officially bringing today's spacewalk to an end after seven hours and 17 minutes (apologies for the delayed post). (1/2)

Russian EVA 63: This was the 272nd ISS spacewalk, the 3rd so far this year, the 2nd for Ovchinin and the 1st for Vagner. Total ISS EVA time now stands at 1,723 hours and 13 minutes, or 71 days 19 hours and 13 minutes; Ovchinin has now logged 13h 18m outside the station in his 2 EVAs (2/2)

(1/9) Ruští kosmonauti Alexej Ovčinin (Orlan MKS č. 5 s červenými rozlišovacími pruhy) a Ivan Vagner (Orlan MKS č. 4 s modrými rozlišovacími pruhy) včera uskutečnili poslední letošní výstup VKD-63 do volného kosmického prostoru z paluby Mezinárodní kosmické stanice ISS.


(2/9) Výstup začal v 16:35:53 SEČ a kosmonauti nainstalovali na modul Zvezda spektrometr SPIN-CH1-MVN, který v srpnu letošního roku přivezl Progress MS-28. Přístroj sestává ze samotného rentgenového spektrometru o hmotnosti 51 kg a z bloku obslužné elektroniky o hmotnosti 3,2 kg.


(3/9) Spektrometr SPIN-CH1-MVN bude pracovat v tvrdé oblasti rentgenového záření (v rozsahu energií od 10 do 70 keV). Zaměří se zejména na celooblohové sledování kosmického rentgenového pozadí. Za 72 dní provozu zmapuje cca 84 % celé oblohy (více není možné).


(4/9) Za dobu fungování na ISS (3 roky) má proběhnout celkem 15 takových přehlídkových pozorování. Spektrometr má čtyři kanály, každý s vlastním CdTe detektorem o velikosti 32 px. Apertury jednotlivých kanálů jsou periodicky zakrývány pro měření pozadí detektorů.


(5/9) Zorné pole spektrometru SPIN-CH1-MVN je 3,2° a pokud bude fungovat správně doplní pozorování provedena velkými kosmickými observatořemi jako je Integral, Swift, HEAO-1 apod. Po jeho instalaci se kosmonauti Ovčinin a Vagner přesunuli k jiným úkolům.


(6/9) Na modulu Poisk odebrali dvě expoziční kazety experimentu Test, jehož cílem bylo ověřit vliv kosmického prostředí a dopadů mikroskopických úlomků kosmické tříště na pevnost různých konstrukčních materiálů. Odebrali dále dvě palety experimentu Vynoslivosť.


(7/9) I jeho úkolem bylo studium vlivu kosmického prostředí na vlastnosti materiálů. Oba experimenty byly na modul Poisk instalovány při výstupu do volné kosmického prostoru 2. června 2021. Vystaveny nehostinnému kosmickému prostředí tak byly 1296 dní.


(8/9) Z modulu Poisk kosmonauti Ovčinin a Dubrov demontovali aparaturu Indikator-MKS experimentu Kontroľ. Ten od roku 2013 měřil vlastnosti zbytků atmosféry v okolí Mezinárodní kosmické stanice ISS. Tato aparatura byla společně s dalšími starými díly zahozena.


(9/9) O to se postaral Alexej Ovčinin na konci výstupu. Ten skončil ve 23:53:40 a trval tak celkem 7 hodin, 17 minut a 47 sekund. Pro nedostatek času se neuskutečnilo přesunutá řídícího panelu manipulátoru ERA na modulu MLM-U Nauka.
