00:03Despite tensions between Russia and the U.S. on Earth, our dual space agencies are still hard at work as
00:09a team up on the International Space Station.
00:11And recently Russian cosmonauts conducted a spacewalk while working with colleagues from both NASA and the ESA.
00:18The spacewalk was conducted by Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Pedelin, exiting the safety of the space station and moving out
00:24into the vacuum of space.
00:25Their mission? Relocate a radiator unit. The mission was assisted using a relatively new piece of hardware on the ISS,
00:32a robotic arm that was produced by the European Space Agency.
00:36Both of the astronauts have completed several spacewalks prior to this one, but this was only the first part of
00:41the relocation maneuver.
00:42Another subsequent spacewalk is scheduled to complete the radiator's relocation, from the Rasvet module to the Nauka space module.
00:49The International Space Station has had a number of issues over the last couple of years, from the astronauts' atmosphere
00:54being vented into space, to smoke coming from an unknown source in one of the modules.
00:58It's no wonder the space agencies plan to decommission the station soon.
01:02The ISS is set to plunge into the Pacific Ocean at some point in 2031.
