An ISS spacewalk is underway and the helmet-cam video is mesmerizing

Two Russian cosmonauts have carried out spacecraft at the International Space Station today, and while their assignments might be to build a key link with a new Naeka module, it is also an opportunity for some recording helmacean jaw-dropping. Expedition 65 Flight Engineers Oleg Novitskiy and Pyotr Dubrov – Both Roscosmos – Open The Airlock Hatch at 10:41 EDT.

The nauka, the alternative as a multipurpose-upgrade laboratory module, or MLM-U, has long come to the ISS. Russia was originally intended to re-launch in 2007, but some consecutive delays mean not until July 2021 which exploded.

Even then, he managed to cause some controversy. Shortly after docking with ISS on July 29, 2021, the drivers of the machine were suddenly fired. It finally played the ISS, with the space station just brought back to the correct orientation after the module put out the fuel and the machine was cut. NASA said when the crew was not in the danger of the incident, but it was delayed one of the efforts to launch for Boeing-2 Starliner.

Now, it’s time for the nauka to connect to the ISS itself. Even though the new module has been attached to the Zvezda module nadir port, it has not been connected with power and Ethernet. It was one of the tasks of Novitskiy and Dubrov had today.

Another goal for spacewalk is to install new ISS hardware. The cosmonaut will fit the hand grip to the exterior of the space station, making it easier for those who adventure outside in the future to maneuver around.

It has become an opportunity to capture new recordings that are captivating from the helmet camera forced by cosmonaut. While the earth’s video from the ISS was abundant because the science platform was first established in orbit, space was much less rare. In fact, it is less than 250 in the history of ISS. Today is expected to last up to seven hours, although it only becomes the first of the total to get the nauka ready for full operation.

Still planned for Naeka is another addition, which aims at Roscosmos in November this year. The Prichal node module is expected to add more docking ports to the Russian orbital segment of the ISS, take the total to four. However, Russia looked beyond the ISS for a new module, with the potential nourge and prichal to be part of the Rosesmos Russian orbital service station. It was not scheduled to start construction until 2025.
