The Russians Yuri Malenchenko and Sergei Volkov, a few hours spent in the open space. They completed all the work planned, launched into orbit a memory card with messages in honor of the 70th anniversary of the victory and returned safely to the ISS.
This darkness in the land will not see. On the ISS it is called Space. But even the conditions of poor visibility the planned spacewalk not interfere. Hundreds of experts in the world, in mission control center, monitoring the observance of the so-called sequence diagrams at an altitude of 400 km.
After the manhole covers have been successfully closed, Yuri Malenchenko and Sergei Volkov went into orbit. Behind them is not a working day in space, but each new one is not like the previous one. The challenge now – to release the project flash card space “70 thousand thanks.” On the anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the inhabitants of the Earth sent the veterans.
However, it was the easiest part of the spacewalk. Also had to install or dismantle the equipment, including, intended for scientific experiments. Among them are “Aperture-P” – a joint project of Roskosmos and the European Space Agency. Outside the ISS are cassettes and microorganisms living messengers from Earth. The project’s objective – to find out how space affects the lives of ordinary fungi or insects. These studies are very important for all of humanity. That seems unrealistic, scientists want to check in the science fiction movies. To know if a person will fly to other planets, what kind of flora and fauna to take him with them.
Research biodiversity experiment in outer space began in 2011. On Earth are ready for it, scientists of the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Collected in a special sterile tape more than fifty samples of bacteria, 8 species of fungi, one species of crustaceans and mosquito larvae. The first findings have shown that the seemingly weak in the world in space organisms are very resistant to radiation and weightlessness.
From the Earth to the astronauts have helped, but the main action only control one another. Astronauts now prepare equipment for a large-scale experiment “endurance”. Modern materials and tools of the Russian space industry is left outside the station, so after a while to understand how to change their mechanical properties.
As a result, more than 5 hours. Upon returning to the house star break will not be long. Ahead of the astronauts continued the experiments, but inside the station
