The latest spacewalk by Russian cosmonauts outside the International Space Station (ISS) has been successfully completed. The work in open space lasted a total of 6 hours and 6 minutes, during which the crew members managed to fully complete all assigned tasks. This is reported by Ixbt.com reports .
Cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergey Mikaev installed a new radio telescope on the Zvezda module. This unique device will allow for the first-ever study of the Sun in the terahertz range. This is expected to be a new scientific milestone in the study of solar activity.
Additionally, the specialists brought out samples of gallium arsenide, a semiconductor material widely used in electronics, smartphones, and solar panels. Scientists are testing the possibilities of growing such complex structures directly in orbital conditions.
Another important task was the retrieval of a container as part of the Biorisk experiment. Microorganisms and plant seeds that remained in the extreme conditions of open space for several years will now be examined by specialists. This research will help determine the resilience of living organisms in space.
Cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev assisted the team from inside the station. He operated the ERA robotic arm, ensuring the safe movement of the crew members between the Zvezda and Nauka modules.
