Once there, they reached a pair of rendezvous antennas no longer needed that were blocking translation paths for future spacewalks. They removed both antennas and jettisoned them from the orbital laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the cosmonauts conducted a detailed photographic survey of the exterior surface of the Russian modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was Suraev\u2019s second spacewalk of his career. His first was in January of 2010 during Expedition 22 when he spent five hours, 44 minutes outside the station setting up Poisk for future vehicle dockings. Suraev’s two spacewalks total 9 hours, 22 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was also Samokutyaev\u2019s second spacewalk. He worked outside the station in August 2011 for six hours, 23 minutes installing science and communications gear and relocating a cargo boom during Expedition 28. Samokutyaev’s two spacewalks total 10 hours, 1 minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday\u2019s spacewalk was the 184th in support of station assembly and maintenance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian spacewalkers Max Suraev and Alexander Samokutyaev closed the Pirs docking compartment hatch at 1:06 p.m. EDT ending the third spacewalk for Expedition 41.
