Roscosmos has summarized the results of Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub's spacewalk. The mission outside the ISS took two hours less than the planned 6 hours and 36 minutes.
According to the space agency, in 4 hours and 36 minutes, the cosmonauts managed to complete all the main and additional tasks.
The cosmonauts managed to:
- install the "Quartz" scientific equipment and the "TKK-KM" scientific equipment on the "Poisk" module;
- fully deploy the second panel of the small-sized radar of the "Napor-miniRSA" experiment on the "Nauka" module;
- take swab samples from the surface of the "Nauka" module in the interests of the "Test" experiment. They will help in the study of the development of microdestruction of the structural elements of the Russian ISS modules under the influence of the components of their own external atmosphere.
In addition, the cosmonauts on "Poisk" dismantled one of the two containers of "Biorisk-MSN" scientific equipment and deployed the pressure and deposition control unit in a different position, measuring the rate of deposition of pollutants on the external surface of the ISS.
