GordonD Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 27 DECEMBER 2013 Oleg Kotov & Sergei Ryazansky (ISS Expedition 38) Duration 8 hr 7 min (a Russian record) The cosmonauts installed two cameras onto the Zvezda platform they had built during their previous EVA on 9 November. After connecting the data leads, Kotov jettisoned the cable reel into space. However, the Russian ground controllers did not receive any signals, so the cosmonauts were instructed to photograph the connectors and remove the cameras for analysis. The pair then removed and jettisoned the Vsplesk experiment package, which had been installed in July 2008 to monitor seismic effects using high-energy particle streams. This was replaced by Seismoprognoz, a more sophisticated package carrying out a similar function. Even though this became the longest Russian EVA in history, the problems with the cameras meant that some tasks had to be left undone, including the removal of a frame that once held Japanese space exposure packages and the installation of a payload boom. Fifth EVA for Kotov; Ryazansky's second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 29 DECEMBER 1973 Gerald Carr & Ed Gibson (Skylab 4) Duration 3 hr 28 min The astronauts retrieved the Thermal Control Coatings Experiment panel for analysis, then carried out further observations of Comet Kohoutek as it appeared from behind the Sun. While they were working, ice formed on the front of Carr's suit, due to a minor coolant leak. This had also happened during the spacewalk on Christmas Day but was not considered serious. Second EVA for both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
