WASHINGTON, 22nd July, 2022 (WAM) — Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev and Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti have returned safely to the International Space Station (ISS) following a seven-hour spacewalk, German press agency (dpa) reported.
Artemyev and Cristoforetti completed all but one of their major objectives during the spacewalk, which lasted 7 hours and 5 minutes and ended at 2155 GMT, US space agency NASA said.
The spacewalk’s main objective was the relocation of a robotic arm, called ERA, and the launching of 10 nanosatellites, designed to collect radio electronics data.
The duo was also meant to install a telescopic boom that could help astronauts on further space-walks, but that task was now to be completed on a future spacewalk, NASA said.
