AfarTV will be covering Russian Spacewalk 61 at the International Space Station to install a synthetic radar communications system, deploy a solar sail technology satellite, replace electrical connector patch panels, and photograph the multipurpose laboratory module’s external radiator. Spacewalk expected to begin approx. 1:55 p.m. EDT and last 7 hours.

Expedition 70 cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub will venture outside of the station’s Poisk module to install a synthetic radar communications system and release a nanosatellite to test solar sail technology. While outside the station, they also will inspect and photograph an external backup radiator on the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module that experienced a coolant leak on Oct. 9.

The spacewalk will be the 268th in support of space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades. It will be the sixth for Kononenko, who will wear the Orlan spacesuit with red stripes and the first for Chub, who will wear the spacesuit with blue stripes.
