Right this moment’s spacewalk with Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin was postponed resulting from a problem with the water coolant system pump on Prokopyev’s Orlan spacesuit. The group is within the technique of returning onboard methods to a nominal configuration. The duo, with help from European robotic arm operator Anna Kikina of Roscosmos, have been slated to relocate a radiator from the Rassvet module to the Nauka science module on the Worldwide House Station.
Right this moment’s spacewalk would have continued the duo’s earlier spacewalk on Nov. 17 the place they ready the radiator for its relocation. A back-up date for at present’s spacewalk is to be decided.
