Roskosmos: Cosmonauts Prokopiev and Petelin completed their spacewalk ahead of schedule

Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergei Prokopiev and Dmitry Petelin closed the exit hatch of the Poisk small research module on the International Space Station. The exit duration was 6 hours 24 minutes, during which the crew installed and connected the new RSPI-M equipment to transmit information from the Russian segment of the ISS to Earth. In addition, the cosmonauts dismantled the Seismoprognoz scientific equipment, the old information transmission system, the transceiver, the Impact experiment tablet, and a removable cassette-container with material samples. They also dismantled one of three containers of Biorisk-MSN equipment designed to study the impact of outer space on materials for space technology. For Prokopiev, this was the seventh spacewalk, and for Petelin, the fifth.
