Cosmonauts Sergei Prokopiev and Dmitry Petelin on Wednesday successfully completed an almost eight-hour spacewalk to prepare the Nauka module of the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS).

Prokopiev and Petelin, using the European Space Agency (ESA) manipulator, remotely controlled by cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev, transferred the radiator of the Russian Rassvet module to Nauka and the experimental gateway from the ISS.

Both Rassvet-based teams have been in space since May 2010, when they arrived aboard US shuttle Atlantis STS-132.

The spacewalk, originally scheduled to run for 6 hours and 37 minutes, stretched out for just over an hour than anticipated, which can be seen in the live EVA broadcast.

In addition to this walk, this crew will make two more on April 25 and May 4.
