MOSCOW: Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko (a TASS special reporter in space) and Nikolay Chub will embark on their next spacewalk on 25th-26th April, the Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities (Roscosmos) announced.
“Preparations [were carried out] for the extravehicular activity under the Russian (VKD-62) programme scheduled for April 25-26, in particular, equipment for experiments was prepared,” Roscosmos said in its 9th April report on the cosmonauts’ activity.
Roscosmos cosmonauts Kononenko and Chub are currently on a yearlong space mission aboard the International Space Station, according to TASS.
Kononenko said in July 2023 that four spacewalks were planned for the ongoing space mission. The cosmonauts conducted one spacewalk overnight to October 26 when they disconnected the hydraulic circuits of the radiator heat exchanger, which had leaked on 9th October, and photographed the coolant leak location.
