Gennady Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko made a spacewalk – the first channel

Clean the windows, took samples from the surface of solar panels, fixing set for new antennas, spent photographing Russian segment of the ISS … This and much more time to do the cosmonauts Gennady Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko during a spacewalk. It lasted five and a half hours and was the 41st of the Russian program.

In the meantime, they worked behind, NASA astronauts Scott Kelly Chell Lindgren and Kimia Yui, remaining inside, prepared a salad of red lettuce grown in weightlessness. Its leaves are added olive oil and Italian dressing. The dish turned out excellent. The technology of growing lettuce and vegetables in orbit opens up new possibilities for man in space and will help ensure adequate nutrition crews of future missions to explore the Moon and Mars.
