Russian Cosmonauts Complete Successful Airlock Relocation Spacewalk on ISS

Russian cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin successfully relocated an equipment airlock from one module to another on the Russian segment of the International Space Station during a 7-hour and 11-minute spacewalk. The airlock will be used to deploy Russian experiment pallets and small satellites from inside the Nauka module. The cosmonauts also inspected and photographed a radiator they previously repositioned and jettisoned a bundle of spent equipment and no longer needed items.
