00:00The International Space Station is set to be decommissioned in 2031, but that doesn't mean
00:08the multicultural team isn't still up there doing their jobs. And recently two of the Russian
00:13cosmonauts who are dwelling 254 miles above the Earth's surface conducted a spacewalk. But why?
00:18Reuters reports they were relocating a piece of hardware, moving it from the Rassvet module to
00:23the Nauka lab module. The goal? Move an airlock and install a radiator for better cooling. The
00:28whole transit took some six hours, with Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergei Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin
00:34making the walk. But they had help from the European Space Agency's newest toy, a gigantic
00:38robotic arm that was recently launched up to the station. This isn't their first excursion outside
00:43the black of space either. These two have been on several spacewalks for repairs and experiments.
00:48In fact, this is their second such walk in only two weeks. And the pair have another one scheduled
00:52for May 12th, where they plan to finish connecting all of the electronics related to the recent
00:57hardware move.
00:58And the third one, one is pretty close to the project.
01:04I see.
01:05Your head of this channel is already done and not only has a great idea of this one, but
01:10I will see.
01:12I can't wait until I dive to the project.
01:13I can't wait until I leave.
01:15I can't wait until it is left.
01:16What a very simple search is that I will keep it on the whole system from the ocean and the
01:19line to the ocean.
01:21I can't wait until I leave.
01:23I can't wait until I leave.
01:24I can wait until I leave.
