TL;DR Summary

Roscosmos cosmonauts successfully completed a spacewalk, inspecting the Nauka module radiator and releasing a nanosatellite. However, they encountered a coolant leak and partial solar sail deployment issues. The cosmonauts wiped down their suits and tools to prevent contamination before reentering the space station. This was the sixth spacewalk for Oleg Kononenko and the first for Nikolai Chub. NASA astronauts Loral O'Hara and Jasmin Moghbeli are scheduled for the next spacewalk to replace faulty equipment and complete maintenance tasks.
